Brazil Land Games has recently released their rendition of Uberaba - Mário de Almeida Franco Airport (SBUR) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, serving the city of Uberaba in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a yearly average of 104,856 passengers.

Built in the early 1930s as an airfield, its commercial debut only happened in 1934 with a VASP flight on a Monospar ST4 from São Paulo with a single stop in Ribeirão Preto.

A passenger terminal was only built in 1950, and promotion to airport status only came in 1958 after it was donated from the city to the government (the now defunct Ministry of Aviation).

Infraero (a state-controlled airport administration company) took control in 1980, investing heavily in modernization and bringing it up to the expected standard of a commercial airport in Brazil: night lighting, a meteorological station, and an eventual terminal expansion many years later in 2008, doubling its passenger handling capabilities.

It was recently purchased by Aena, granting them 30 years of administrative rights over the airport and the obligation of modernizing it within five years of taking control (by 2027, at the very least).

The scenery features an accurate rendition of the airport, with custom ground textures, a detailed terminal interior, an up-to-date ground layout, and more.

It’s available in their official shop for roughly $7.03.
