Airport Information – Rio de Janeiro Galeão Airport
Rio de Janeiro-Galeão Airport opened in 1923 as an aviation school and developed as a military airbase during World War 2. But it was only in the 1950s that, in order to help the old airport supporting the increase in air traffic, it was converted into a civilian airport. Modernized during the 20th century, today it is one of the most important airports in Brazil and handles national, international and regional flights. It uses two terminals and two runways, serving about 10 million passengers per year.
