The expansion of flights in Uberlândia comes as an important boost for those planning congresses, conventions, and large-scale events, broadening the possibilities and making the event organization experience even more fluid, from planning to execution.

But how does the expansion of flights in Uberlândia contribute to events? In this text, we will show, in a practical way, how the expansion of the air network can be an ally to event organizers, and why this scenario further strengthens the experience of holding meetings at the Center Convention.

Expansion of flights in Uberlândia: what's behind this growth?

Uberlândia begins a new cycle of growth in aviation. According to Aena, the concessionaire responsible for managing the airport, The city will see an increase of over 30% in flight seat capacity by 2026., resulting from the creation of new routes and the reinforcement of frequencies on existing operations.

This development is no accident. Uberlândia's air connectivity is strategic and has been strengthened by continuous investments in efficiency, modernization, and operational capacity, led by one of the world's largest airport management companies.

In practice, the expansion of the air network further connects Uberlândia to major economic centers in the country, creating a more favorable environment for business, corporate meetings and, of course, for holding congresses, conventions and large-scale events.

More routes, more access for those who come to participate.

With the expansion of flights in Uberlândia, the city is increasing direct connections to strategic airports such as Congonhas and Guarulhos (SP), in addition to having new routes to Brasília International Airport – President Juscelino Kubitschek and Rio de Janeiro International Airport (RIOgaleão), according to announcements from the airlines. The municipality also maintains regular flights to destinations such as Belo Horizonte, Campinas, Recife, Salvador, Fortaleza, Natal, Maceió, João Pessoa and Porto Seguro. 

In practice, this means more scheduling options, fewer connections, and simpler travel, which is an advantage that makes a difference for both the audience and the speakers, exhibitors, and guests.

 

 

What changes, in practice, for those who organize large events?

For organizers, the expansion of flights in Uberlândia brings very concrete benefits to the day-to-day running of the event. More flights mean more predictability, more flexibility, and fewer logistical barriers throughout the entire process — from planning to execution.

Among the main impacts for the organizers are:

• Ease of travel for participants coming from different regions of the country. 
• More efficient logistics for transporting materials, equipment, and assemblies. 
• More schedule and connection options, reducing delays and unforeseen circumstances. 
• Greater potential for event participation, as access to the city becomes simpler and more attractive.

 

Beyond operational gains, a wider air network facilitates strategic planning for the event as a whole. With more flight and schedule options, the organizer can structure more realistic timelines, negotiate better with suppliers, and accommodate the schedules of speakers and guests with greater precision. This scenario reduces logistical risks, brings more security to the operation, and contributes to a more efficient execution of large-scale events.

 

 

What changes in the experience of those who participate in the event?

From the participant's point of view, the expansion of flights in Uberlândia also generates direct impacts—and these begin even before the event takes place. Easier access to the city influences the decision to participate and improves the experience from the moment of travel.

With more routes and frequencies, the public will now have access to:

• Faster journeys with fewer connections. 
• Greater flexibility in arrival and return times. 
• Less fatigue on long commutes, which is reflected in the experience during the event.

For participants, the difference is clear on a daily basis: more convenience, more flexibility, and faster travel. With fewer connections and more schedule options, the journey becomes simpler and less tiring, allowing people to arrive at the event with more energy. This ease directly impacts the overall experience, promoting greater enjoyment of the program, more comfort, and a more positive perception of the event from the start.

 

A space that reflects Uberlândia's new connectivity.

The expansion of flights in Uberlândia broadens access to the city and facilitates the arrival of participants, speakers, and teams from different regions. When this travel is simpler, the overall event experience tends to be more fluid, especially when the local infrastructure keeps pace with this movement.

In this context, the Center Convention is situated in an environment that promotes practicality. Located in a mixed-use complex, with access to Center Shopping Uberlândia and the Mercure Uberlândia hotel, the space helps reduce travel and optimize the time of those participating in events from outside the city, a point that is increasingly relevant with the increase in air traffic.

In addition to its location, the versatile and flexible spaces of the Center Convention allow for adaptation to different event formats, keeping pace with this new dynamic of connectivity. Thus, the expansion of the air network and the venue's infrastructure work in a complementary way, favoring the holding of large gatherings at the Center Convention.
