Rio de Janeiro Airport

Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport (GIG) is one of Brazil's busiest airports, located on Governador Island, about 20 km north of downtown Rio de Janeiro. The airport has two main terminals: Terminal 1 for domestic flights and Terminal 2 for both domestic and international operations, connected by a shuttle service. It features two parallel runways, 10/28 (4,000 m) and 15/33 (3,000 m), capable of accommodating large aircraft including Boeing 747s and Airbus A380s. The airport’s apron and taxiway system are designed for high-capacity operations, with multiple jet bridges and remote stands for efficient aircraft handling. Technical services include advanced air traffic control, radar-based navigation, and ILS (Instrument Landing System) on both runways for precision approaches. Galeão also provides extensive cargo facilities, aircraft maintenance services, and modern passenger amenities, supporting millions of travelers annually.
