Foz do Iguaçu: City Hall wants to use R$ 2.5 M to attract flights

The R$ 2.5 million is already listed in the municipal budget under the action "Initiative for Flight Capture and Air Connectivity." The proposal, contained in Messages No. 036 and 037/2026, does not create new spending but changes how the money will be used.

The change would allow economic subsidies to be granted to private companies in the aviation sector. The amount will be reallocated from other budget lines: R$ 1.45 million will come from third-party services, R$ 990 thousand from information technology and communication expenses, R$ 10 thousand from material for free distribution, and R$ 50 thousand from cultural-value actions and event support.

According to the City Hall, expanding air connectivity is essential to boost local tourism and increase links with other markets. Message No. 036/2026 will also set criteria to define which operations will receive resources, the amounts per initiative, and the beneficiaries' counterpart obligations.

Since this is a legislative amendment, the project must undergo analysis and voting by the City Council. Until approval and regulation, there is no guarantee that the R$ 2.5 million will be transferred to airlines.
