Canoas Air Force Base – ALA3 (IATA: QNS, ICAO: SBCO) is a base of the Brazilian Air Force, located in Canoas, near Porto Alegre, Brazil.

History[edit]

The history of Canoas Air Force Base begins in 1937, when the 3rd Army Aviation Regiment (3º RAv) was transferred from Santa Maria Air Force BasetoCanoas. With the creation of the Air Force Ministry in 1941, the 3º RAv became known as Gravataí Air Force Base. On 21 August 1944, the 3º RAv officially ceased to exist and on the same day Canoas Air Force Base was commissioned.

Due to the catastrophic flooding affecting the State of Rio Grande do Sul and in particular the city of Porto Alegre and its international airport, which caused an indefinite suspension of all operations,[2] Canoas Air Force Base started to serve as operations field to the temporary Nossa Senhora de Fátima Aerodrome, handling civilian flights from May 21, 2024.[3][4][5]
