Flights to Ilhéus
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Ilhéus is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport (IOS), 2 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,174 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport (regional) | IOS | 2 km (1 mi) | 5,174 ft | 15 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,174 ft, IOS handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 15 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
