Benedito Lacerda Airport (IATA: MEA, ICAO: SBME) is the airport serving Macaé, Brazil. The airport is named after (1903–1958), a musician born in Macaé.
It is operated by Infraero.
The airport was established in the 1960s as an airfield for general aviation and a Flying club. In the 1980s the runway was paved and an apron and a terminal with 941 m² were constructed, enabling Macaé Airport to fully support the operations related to the Campos basin. In fact, most of its movement (98%) is related to helicopter flights to/from offshore oil platforms of the Campos basin. Its apron has 6 positions for fixed-wing aircraft and 38 positions for rotorcrafts.
No scheduled flights operate at this airport.
The airport is located 6 km (4 mi) from downtown Macaé.
