It’s located roughly 25 km northeast of downtown São Paulo and typically offers the widest choice of long-haul flights, often at mid-to-premium price levels compared with local options.

Pros: many international connections and full passenger services; cons: can be crowded and travel times to the centre can be unpredictable.
Recife/Guararapes–Gilberto Freyre International Airport (REC) acts as Pernambuco’s main international gateway and a regional hub for northeastern Brazil, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost or regional airlines. Located about 7–10 km southwest of downtown Recife, the airport is typically a 20–35 minute drive depending on traffic. Ground options include taxis and app-based rides (common fares often fall in a moderate range), airport shuttles, and occasional local buses; private transfers are also available. Pros: reasonably compact terminals and direct international connections; cons: peak-hour congestion and limited late-night public transport can affect convenience. Overall, REC is usually positioned as the city’s primary entry point balancing connectivity and practical access to Recife’s urban core.
