Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport

Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport, serving João Pessoa in Brazil’s Paraíba state, traces its roots back to the 1950s and operates from a single passenger terminal that handles regional and some international traffic. As a mid-sized gateway to the state capital and nearby Atlantic beaches, JPA is important for tourists and business travelers alike and offers regular services by Gol, LATAM Brasil and Azul. Located roughly 10–15 minutes by car from downtown João Pessoa, the airport is well connected by local buses, taxis, ride‑share apps and car rentals, with straight transfers to coastal resorts. Fares are often competitive compared with major Brazilian hubs, making it a generally affordable option for travelers.
