Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport (FOR) is the city’s main international and domestic gateway, handling both full-service carriers and regional/budget airlines; it can be busier and pricier than secondary airports during high season. Located about 6–8 km from downtown Fortaleza, travel to the city center typically takes 20–30 minutes by taxi or rideshare, with fares usually in the low-to-mid range for Brazilian city transfers; the public bus network and airport shuttles offer cheaper options that may take 40–60 minutes depending on traffic. The airport is relatively modern with basic shopping and dining; its convenience and central location are strengths, while crowds and variable wait times can be downsides in peak periods.
Rio de Janeiro is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Rio–Galeão (GIG) is the main international gateway and typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers, acting as the city’s larger hub; it sits about 20–25 km north of downtown and can be reached in roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic, with licensed fares usually higher than local buses. There’s also an express bus and a suburban rail link that can take around 30–50 minutes for lower-cost travel. Benefits include more dining and services and frequent international connections, while peak-hour road congestion can add time and unpredictability. Santos Dumont (SDU) functions more as a domestic and regional airport, popular with short-haul and budget-minded carriers as well as business travelers. Located very close to the city center—about 2–4 km from downtown or the main waterfront—journeys take roughly 10–20 minutes by taxi or local bus; fares are generally lower but can rise in heavy traffic. Its compact size makes transfers quick and convenient, though limited long-haul options and smaller terminal facilities can be a downside for some travelers.
