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

Downtown Rio's bayside airport, ten minutes from Centro and 20 from Copacabana, with a spectacular approach over Sugarloaf. Short runways restrict it to smaller jets, slots are scarce, and there is no customs, so international flights clear at Galeão. Líder's FBO and a helipad on site.
