January 2026 records passenger peak at Foz do Iguaçu Airport

According to ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency), the month with the highest passenger traffic at Foz do Iguaçu Airport was January 2026, with 248,673 passengers (departures + arrivals). This number includes both those who leave and those who arrive at the airport.

This peak coincides with the high tourism season in the region, when many families take advantage of school holidays and the Southern Hemisphere summer to visit the Falls, Itaipu and other attractions of the Triple Frontier. Local events, such as New Year celebrations and the start of summer programs, also draw more visitors.

For travelers, the increased flow may mean longer lines at check‑in, security and airport‑to‑city transportation services. It is advisable to arrive early, book a transfer or use ride‑hailing apps, and stay alert to possible variations in airline ticket prices.

What this means for you: If you plan to visit Foz do Iguaçu in January, expect higher activity at the airport and attractions; arrive early, reserve accommodation and transportation in advance, and consider bringing a bit more cash for possible extra costs of food and transport.
