Location insights

Where Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport moves

Rio de Janeiro/Galeão is Rio's long-haul gateway, on Governador Island about 20 km from the city centre, the main international door even after domestic traffic shifted toward the closer Santos Dumont field. Terminal 2 carries the bulk of scheduled domestic and international flights, while Terminal 1 handles general, executive and charter aviation, the two joined by a covered walkway with a travelator. Mornings push the international and connecting departure banks, midday holds turnaround dwell, evenings fill arrivals and the BRT TransCarioca and bus stands toward central Rio. Two terminals, one long-haul Carioca audience. Buy the banks, not the dead hours.
