Flights to Brasília
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Brasília is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (BSB), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 10,827-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport | BSB | 10 km (6 mi) | 10,827 ft | 3,497 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,827 ft, BSB can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 3,497 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
