Sobre Brasília–President Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport

Brasília–President Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (BSB) is the airport for Brasília, the capital of Brazil. It handled 16.7 million passengers in 2025, the third-highest total among Brazilian airports.

Most flights are domestic. GOL, LATAM Airlines and Azul connect Brasília with São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza, Manaus and the other state capitals, with direct daily flights to all 26 of them. International routes include TAP to Lisbon, Copa Airlines to Panama City, GOL to Miami and Orlando, and LATAM to Santiago and Lima.

The airport has one passenger terminal with a central building, a north pier and a south pier. Domestic and international flights share it, and gates at the ends of the piers can be a long walk apart.

Consejos de llegada a Brasília–President Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport

If you arrive on an international flight, you pass through Federal Police immigration and then collect your bags and clear customs. Citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia need a Brazilian e-visa, obtained online before travel, since April 10, 2025.

Baggage claim and the arrivals hall are on the lower level of the terminal, where you will also find the taxi rank, rideshare pickup and car rental desks.

For a taxi, use the airport-accredited cabs that queue on the arrivals level road, reached from the hall or the exit doors. Ignore offers from people approaching you away from that rank. Uber and 99 pick up at the Praça PickUp area on the arrivals level; check the app for the exact spot, as it has changed before. Pre-booked drivers usually wait in the arrivals hall with a name sign.

Brasília uses Brasília time (UTC-3) with no daylight saving time, and the currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). The dry season runs from about May to September, and the rainy season from about October to April.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you in the arrivals hall and drives you to your hotel or address. Share your flight number so the driver can follow delays.

  • Executive bus to the Hotel Sectors

    Executive bus line 113 runs from outside arrivals to the North and South Hotel Sectors and the Brasília Convention Center. Departures are infrequent and limited on Sundays and holidays, so check the schedule.

    Local buses, including line 102, run from outside arrivals to the Rodoviária do Plano Piloto, which links to the metro and intercity buses. There is no metro station at the airport, and the buses have little room for large bags.
