Where flights typically depart and land

Typically depart from

São Paulo · CGH

Typical departure: Congonhas Airport · BR (CGH). Confirm the private terminal, reporting time and any customs or handling requirements with the operator.

Typically land at

Rio de Janeiro · SDU

Typical arrival: Santos Dumont Airport · BR (SDU). The best gateway depends on the final address, aircraft performance and airport acceptance; compare the alternatives described below.

Congonhas and Santos Dumont are the central-city airport pair used here. Both require careful operating assessment; compare Guarulhos and Galeão when aircraft performance, access or slots favour a larger airport. Do not assume every charter jet can use both central airports.
