Navegantes–Ministro Victor Konder International Airport (IATA: NVT, ICAO: SBNF) is the airport serving Navegantes, Brazil, as well as Itajaí, Balneário Camboriú, and Blumenau. Since June 10, 1959, it is named after the Itajaí-born Victor Konder (1886–1941), Minister of Public Works (1926–1930), whose administration encouraged the birth of Brazilian commercial aviation.[5]
At the time of its foundation, Navegantes was a district of Itajaí. With its emancipation in 1961, it was necessary to adapt the airport name to its present form. This was done on December 30, 2002, by a presidential decree.[6]
Previously operated by Infraero, on April 7, 2021, CCR won a 30-year concession to operate the airport.[7]
