Brasília–President Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport

Brasília International Airport is about 13 km (8 mi) from downtown Brasília, just south of the Plano Piloto. In normal traffic the drive to the center takes around 15 minutes. The trip from the city back to the airport can be slower at the end of the working day, so leave extra time for departures.

Yes. The airport sits inside the Federal District, south of the Plano Piloto, the planned core of Brasília that holds the Esplanada dos Ministérios and the hotel sectors. Its short distance from the center makes it one of the easier big-city airports in Brazil to reach by road.

Brasília airport has one passenger terminal for both domestic and international flights. It has a central building with a north pier and a south pier. Arrivals, taxis, rideshare pickup and car rental desks are on the lower level. Gates at the ends of the piers can be a long walk from each other.

GOL, LATAM Airlines and Azul operate most flights at Brasília, linking the capital with cities across Brazil, with direct daily flights to all 26 state capitals. International airlines include TAP Air Portugal to Lisbon, Copa Airlines to Panama City and LATAM Airlines Peru to Lima, while GOL flies to Miami and Orlando.

Yes. The executive bus, line 113, runs to the North and South Hotel Sectors and the Brasília Convention Center. Regular city buses, including line 102, go to the Rodoviária do Plano Piloto, the main bus station. Both board just outside the arrivals exit. There is no metro station at the airport.

It depends on your passport. Citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia have needed a Brazilian e-visa since April 10, 2025, applied for online before travel through the official VFS Global portal. Many other nationalities can enter visa-free for tourism. Check the current rules for your nationality before you fly.

A taxi or rideshare is the most direct way, and the Esplanada lies in the center of the Plano Piloto, around 15 minutes away in normal traffic. By public transport, take a bus to the Rodoviária do Plano Piloto, which sits at the western end of the Esplanada, and walk or take a short ride from there.

The executive bus, line 113, runs from outside arrivals to the North and South Hotel Sectors and the Brasília Convention Center. Departures are spaced well apart, so a taxi or rideshare is often quicker. Both hotel sectors sit in the center of the Plano Piloto, close to the Rodoviária bus station.

Brasília uses Brasília time, UTC-3, all year, because Brazil does not observe daylight saving time. The currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). The city has a dry season from about May to September, with low humidity, and a rainy season from about October to April, with frequent afternoon storms.
