Rio de Janeiro is served primarily by two airports with different roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG) is the city's international gateway and a common choice for long-haul and business traffic, with major international and full-service Brazilian carriers operating regularly. It sits about 20–30 km from downtown (depending on route) and can be reached by taxi or ride-hail in roughly 25–50 minutes; the dedicated BRT/metro+bus links add cheaper options that typically take 40–80 minutes and can cost modest fares. Santos Dumont (SDU) functions as a convenient domestic and regional hub closer to the city center—around 2–8 km—making transfers to central neighborhoods possible in 10–25 minutes by taxi or short metro/bus rides. SDU is often used by domestic carriers and can be perceived as quicker and more convenient for short-haul trips, while GIG usually offers broader international connections and more amenities; travellers may trade off longer transit times at GIG for more flight options and lower fares on some international routes.
Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport (JPA) serves João Pessoa as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, typically handling a mix of regional Brazilian carriers and some international charter or seasonal services. It's generally perceived as mid-range in price compared with larger Brazilian hubs. The airport lies about 12–14 km from downtown João Pessoa; road transfers by taxi or ride-hail usually take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often falling in a moderate local range, while occasional airport shuttles and car rentals provide flexible alternatives. Pros: compact terminal and short queues can make for a convenient, low-stress arrival. Cons: limited late-night connections and fewer long-haul options than bigger Brazilian hubs.
