Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by Galeão–Tom Jobim International Airport (GIG) and Santos Dumont Airport (SDU), with smaller general aviation fields nearby. Galeão functions as the city’s principal international hub, typically handling long-haul and many full-service carriers; fares can be mid-to-high compared with regional options. It sits about 20–25 km north of downtown and is reachable by taxi or app ride in roughly 30–50 minutes depending on traffic (fares usually range higher than public transport). There’s also an express bus and suburban rail link taking around 40–60 minutes for a lower cost. Pros: more international connections and amenities; cons: can be farther from the city center and subject to heavy traffic. Santos Dumont is a compact, centrally located airport favored for short domestic and select regional flights, commonly served by budget and full-service Brazilian carriers. Located within 2–5 km of the city center, it’s usually a short 10–20 minute taxi or tram ride (often cheaper and much faster than Galeão). Pros: extreme convenience for business travelers and quick transfers; cons: limited international service and fewer long-haul options.
