Pinto Martins Airport

Pinto Martins Airport, serving Fortaleza and the state of Ceará since the mid-20th century, is the region’s main international gateway with one primary passenger terminal handling domestic and seasonal international flights. As one of northeastern Brazil’s busier airports, it connects Fortaleza to major hubs across Brazil and to select overseas destinations, and lies roughly 10 km from downtown with easy access by airport buses, taxis, ride‑hailing and car rental. Travelers find many affordable domestic options here—especially with budget carriers—while international fares vary by season. The airport acts as a focus city for Azul and Gol and sees regular LATAM and regional services.
