- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Rio's general-aviation and helicopter airport in Barra da Tijuca, 15 minutes from the Barra beaches and business towers and 50 from Centro. A 900 m runway limits it to light aircraft and turboprops; the main use is as the helicopter hub for Rio.
