Given this scenario, it is not yet certain that the site will be rebuilt to host the festival nor that Porto Alegre airport will already receive flights. It is worth remembering that Gramado does not have an airport, so to get there you need to disembark in the capital and take land transport or go directly by land. As a matter of urgency, the National Agency for Civil Aviation (ANAC) has authorized the Canoas air base, in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, to receive commercial flights.
