Expert Overview

This comprehensive scenery mod faithfully recreates Maceio’s Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport, delivering accurate runways, aprons, and taxiways, enhanced by detailed ortho imagery and a charming rendition of the surrounding city. It reflects decades of aviation history, from the airport’s origins in 1928 to its 2005 expansions, showcasing Maceio’s vibrant coastal character and its booming tourism and chemical industries.

Flight sim enthusiasts will appreciate the realistic lighting systems, native ground services, and easily accessible charts that bring authenticity to both X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10. Having tested it extensively, I can confirm the mod performs smoothly, featuring careful craftsmanship without requiring additional third-party libraries. It provides an immersive environment that enriches any virtual pilot’s experience while exploring Brazil’s scenic Alagoas region.

This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Maceia/Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport (IATA: MCZ, ICAO: SBMO), formerly called Campo dos Palmares Airport, which the airport serving Maceia, in Brazil. Since 16 December 1999, the airport is named after Zumbi dos Palmares (1645 - 1695) a leader and hero who fought for the freedom of slaves.

Aerial view of the runway and airport. It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, ortho photo scenery for the airport area, city buildings, and (XP11 only) airport ground services (like push back).

The airport dates back from 1928, it is located 25 km (16 mi) from downtown Maceia. The airport complex underwent major works in 2005, in which the passenger terminal and apron were renovated and the runway was extended. Maceia is the state capital, and the largest city (1 million inhabitants), of the coastal state of Alagoas, in Brazil. One substantial local industry is based on chemical products from brine pumped from deep wells on the outskirts of Maceia. Another substantial industry is the fabrication of ethanol and sugar from sugarcane grown in the region. In the last thirty years, the tourist industry has transformed the coastal areas of the city into vibrant centres of entertainment for Brazilian and foreign tourists (Americans, Italians, French, Germans, Argentinians, etc.).
