Flights to João Pessoa
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
João Pessoa is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport (JPA), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,251 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport | JPA | 10 km (6 mi) | 8,251 ft | 217 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,251 ft, JPA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 217 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
