Online Reviews Summary

Traveler sentiment regarding Presidente Itamar Franco Airport (IZA), also known as Aeroporto Regional da Zona da Mata, appears to be mixed, with some appreciation for its modern facilities but significant frustration over its accessibility. While the airport boasts efficient internal operations, a notable decline in passenger traffic and flight operations in early 2025 suggests a challenging period for the facility.

What Travelers Love

Modern Infrastructure and Cleanliness: The airport features a modern infrastructure, a spacious passenger lounge, and is generally described as having a clean and organized layout.
Efficient Internal Processes: Travelers generally report positive experiences with check-in and baggage claim, with satisfaction ratings of 83% and 84% respectively.

Manageable Security and Immigration: Security check processes are rated at 82%, and immigration/customs at 74%, with current wait times typically around 25-30 minutes for security and 8 minutes for immigration.

Common Complaints

Poor Road Access: A major and consistent complaint is the condition of the road leading to the airport. It is frequently described as very narrow, poorly maintained, having poor visibility, and being dangerous due to lorry traffic.
Remote Location: The airport's considerable distance from downtown Juiz de Fora (approximately 35-50 km) makes ground transportation challenging and potentially expensive.
Limited Mobile Network and Subpar WiFi: Many travelers experience a lack of mobile network coverage, forcing reliance on the airport's free Wi-Fi, which some consider unreliable or not sufficiently good.
Reduced Flight Operations: The airport experienced a significant 38% drop in passenger movement and a reduction of over half its commercial operations in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year, impacting flight availability and convenience.

Overall, Presidente Itamar Franco Airport (IZA) offers a modern and well-maintained terminal experience once inside. However, its remote location and persistently poor road access remain significant drawbacks, contributing to a decline in traveler numbers and flight services.
