Metro-Airport Connection (Portuguese: Conexão Metrô-Aeroporto) is a people mover system operating in Porto Alegre, connecting Aeroporto station of the Porto Alegre Metro to Terminal 1 of the Salgado Filho International Airport. It is operated by Trensurb.[2]
Because of the massive 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods and the damages on the track, the Aeromóvel is out of service ever since.[1] It is scheduled to return in 2026.[3]
