The Bragança airfield (Portuguese Aeródromo Municipal de Bragança) is the largest and most important airfield in the northeast of the Portuguese region of Trás-os-Montes. It is about 10 km north of the city of Bragança and is next to the Montesinho National Park.

In 2018, the Portuguese regional airline Aero VIP served the airport twice a day under the SevenAir brand with the cities of Vila Real , Viseu , Cascais and Portimão in the Algarve. The specified cities are served one after the other with a single flight. Special flights to cities in France are also mainly offered in the summer and holiday periods. The airport is currently managed by the city of Bragança.

In 2009 a master plan for the expansion of the infrastructure entitled "Bragança Regional Airport" was presented. The project includes plans to extend the runway from 1700 to 2300 meters to accommodate aircraft that can carry up to 150 passengers (roughly equivalent to the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320), as well as the construction of a new passenger terminal that takes place annually can handle up to 40,000 passengers.
