Curitiba-Afonso Pena International Airport is a moderate-elevation field at 2,988 ft (911 m), positioned at 25.5285° S, 49.1758° W in the Southern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 7,277 ft / 2,218 m.

São José dos Pinhais is the closest retained city-time anchor at 3.3 km. CGH São Paulo is the closest retained airport alternative at 331 km.
CWB is compared with CGH São Paulo at 331 km, GRU São Paulo at 360 km, POA Porto Alegre at 534 km, GIG Rio De Janeiro at 673 km, SDU Rio de Janeiro at 676 km inside the retained Brazil airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

Infraero is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for CWB.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at ccraeroportos.com.br, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
CWB uses America/Sao_Paulo (BRT, UTC-03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Curitiba-Afonso Pena International Airport is about 15 km from central Curitiba; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
CGH São Paulo is the closest retained alternate at 331 km, time difference +0h.
ccraeroportos.com.br is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place CWB inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
CWB ranks #5 in the curated Brazil airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 15 airports.
CWB shares America/Sao_Paulo with BSB Brasília BR · CGH São Paulo BR · CNF Belo Horizonte BR · GIG Rio De Janeiro BR · GRU São Paulo BR · GYN Goiânia BR. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
CWB is 2,988 ft (911 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include NAV 3,100 ft (945 m) (112 ft delta) · BOI 2,871 ft (875 m) (117 ft delta) · ESB 3,125 ft (952 m) (137 ft delta) · CLO 3,162 ft (964 m) (174 ft delta) · CNF 2,721 ft (829 m) (267 ft delta).
