Polo Turistico De Jericoacoara, now officially known as Comandante Ariston Pessoa Airport, serves the beach resort town of Jericoacoara in the state of Ceara, Brazil. It offers a single long hard-surfaced runway suitable for a range of aircraft, though it lacks an instrument landing system and published radio frequencies.
This aerodrome lies in Ceara, Brazil, and functions as the airport for the popular tourist destination of Jericoacoara. It is officially designated Comandante Ariston Pessoa Airport, carries the IATA code JJD, and is situated near the town of Cruz, Ceará. For a simulator pilot, it presents a straightforward single-runway field with generous length but minimal published aeronautical infrastructure, making it a useful VFR destination for a beach-resort approach.
The aerodrome is located near the town of Cruz, in the state of Ceará, close to the Jericoacoara tourist area on Brazil's northeastern coast. No specific airspace classification or details of surrounding controlled airspace are available.
The field has a single physical runway orientated 08/26, surfaced in hard material, with the 08 threshold measuring 7229 feet and the 26 threshold measuring 7228 feet. There is no instrument landing system serving either direction.
No communications frequencies are currently published for the aerodrome, and it has no associated navaids or instrument approach procedures.
The airport was formerly known as Polo Turistico De Jericoacoara before being officially renamed Comandante Ariston Pessoa Airport, reflecting its role as the gateway airfield for the Jericoacoara tourist region.
The aerodrome continues to operate as the airport serving Jericoacoara, identified under the IATA code JJD, though detailed information on current facilities, fuel availability, or operating hours is not available.
