Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG) acts as the international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located about 20–25 km north of downtown, with travel times of 30–50 minutes by road depending on traffic, or roughly 40–60 minutes by BRT/express bus and taxi services; fares can typically range from modest bus fees to mid-range taxi or app fares. Santos Dumont (SDU) is much closer — around 2–3 km from the city centre — and generally caters to domestic and short-haul flights, often preferred for convenience despite sometimes higher ticket prices on these routes. Transport options between SDU and downtown include a short taxi or rideshare (around 10–20 minutes) and local buses; both airports offer car hire and transfers. Pros: GIG provides broader international connectivity and full-service amenities, while SDU is quick and handy for business travellers or tight schedules. Cons: GIG can be subject to longer transfer times and traffic, and SDU may have fewer international options and less capacity for delayed connections.
Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (SSA) serves Salvador as the main international and domestic gateway, handling a mix of full-service carriers and budget airlines on regional and long-haul routes. Situated about 28 km (roughly 35–50 minutes by car) from Salvador’s historic center, connections include regular airport shuttles, taxis, app-based rides and occasional bus services; fares can range from economical bus tickets to moderate taxi or ride-share costs depending on time of day. The airport usually offers decent passenger facilities and several dining options, though wait times can grow during peak holiday periods. For many travelers it balances convenience with typical hub traffic; budget flyers may find cheaper flight choices but should allow extra time for transfer and security.
