Metro-Airport Connection (Portuguese: Conexão Metrô-Aeroporto) is a people mover system operating in Porto Alegre, connecting Aeroporto station of the Porto Alegre Metro to Terminal 1 of the Salgado Filho International Airport. It is operated by Trensurb.

Because of the massive 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods and the damages on the track, the Aeromóvel is out of service ever since. It is scheduled to return in 2026.
