Governador Valadares Airport

Governador Valadares Airport (GVR) serves the city of Governador Valadares in Minas Gerais and opened in the mid-20th century (around the 1940s). The compact regional airport features a single passenger terminal and handles primarily domestic flights, acting as an important gateway to the Doce Valley for business and leisure travelers. Located about 7–10 km from downtown, GVR is easily reached by taxi, regional buses and car rental with direct road links to nearby towns. Not a major airline hub, it’s served by Brazil’s domestic and regional carriers on select routes; on-site and ground-transport costs are generally affordable, though airfares can fluctuate.
