There are most likely no direct flights on the Rio De Janeiro — Istanbul route
Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International (GIG) is the city’s principal international gateway and typically handles long‑haul and full‑service carriers, along with some domestic flights; it sits about 20–25 km north of downtown and can be reached by express bus or taxi in roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying by service and time of day. Santos Dumont (SDU) is a central, convenient airport focused on domestic and short‑haul routes—often used by business travelers and regional carriers—and is only about 2–4 km from the city centre, reachable by taxi, ride‑share or a short ferry/tunnel link in 10–20 minutes. Pros: GIG offers extensive international connections and more amenities, while SDU is far quicker for downtown arrivals. Cons: GIG can be affected by long transfer times and traffic, and SDU may have higher per‑seat fares on busy domestic corridors.
Istanbul’s main airport, Istanbul Airport (IST), serves as the city’s international hub and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, including national flag carrier flights. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, it can be reached by metro, airport shuttle buses, taxis or private transfer — journey times are commonly 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying widely by mode. The older Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side functions more as a secondary/inbound airport favored by low-cost and some regional carriers, around 45–60 km from central districts with shuttle buses, Havatas services, ferries-plus-bus combos, and taxis taking roughly 45–90 minutes. IST is usually seen as more modern and spacious, while SAW can be cheaper but potentially less convenient for central or European-side destinations.
