Vale do Aço Regional Airport (IATA: IPN, ICAO: SBIP), formerly known as Usiminas Airport, is the airport serving Ipatinga, Brazil, located in the adjoining municipality of Santana do Paraíso.

It is temporarily administrated by Infraero.

History[]

Formerly owned and administrated by the steel manufacturer Usiminas, in 2012 the administration started to be conducted in partnership with Socicam.[3] However, in March 2016 the concessionary became temporarily the sole administrator. Later, the administration returned to Infraero.[4]

As result of structural problems on the runway, on February 20, 2019, ANAC suspended all operations at Usiminas Airport until the concessionary solves the problems.[5]
