Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG) is the international gateway and full-service hub, handling most long-haul and many domestic flights operated by legacy carriers and some full-service low-costs; it sits about 20–25 km north of downtown and is usually reached by express bus, taxi or rideshare in roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely). Santos Dumont (SDU) is closer—around 2–4 km from the city center—and typically hosts short-haul and domestic flights by regional and domestic carriers; it can be reached by a short taxi or the VLT light rail in 10–20 minutes for modest fares. Pros: GIG offers more international connections and full-service amenities; SDU is far more convenient for business travelers heading to central Rio. Cons: GIG can feel distant and subject to heavy traffic, while SDU may be pricier for some domestic routes and has limited long-haul options.

Eduardo Gomes International Airport (MAO) serves Manaus as the city’s main international and regional gateway, handling both full-service and low-cost carriers and connecting the Amazon to domestic hubs and occasional international flights. It’s typically seen as a mid-sized international airport rather than a budget-only facility. The airport sits about 14–17 km (roughly 30–45 minutes by taxi depending on traffic) from downtown Manaus; airport buses, app-based rides and taxis are common, with fares usually ranging from modest local bus prices up to moderate taxi or ride-share costs. Travelers can expect basic passenger services and a few dining options; check-in and security can be busy during peak periods but facilities are generally functional. Pros: decent connectivity for the region and straightforward transfers. Cons: limited evening flight options and fewer premium amenities compared with larger national hubs.
