Rio de Janeiro is a large Brazilian city by the sea, famous for the beaches of Copacabana and
Ipanema, the 38-meter-high statue of Christ the Redeemer, on top of Corcovado, and
Pão de Açúcar Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit.
The city is also known for its large slums. The exciting Carnival, with floats, extravagant and samba-free fantasies, is considered the largest in the world.
The Airport Santos Dumont ( IATA : SDU , ICAO : SBRJ ) is a domestic airport in the city of Rio de Janeiro , one of the ten busiest in Brazil.
It has a privileged location and is easily accessible right in the financial center of the city .
Built in the 1930s on a landfill on the edge of Guanabara Bay.
The airport's main activity is on the Rio-São Paulo Bridge , which transports passengers between Santos Dumont and Congonhas Airport in São Paulo , handling approximately 4 million passengers a year, which represents almost half of all the movement of the airport.
The second and third busiest routes are respectively bound to the Brasilia International Airport and the International Belo Horizonte-Confins Airport , both carrying over one million passengers a year.
This structure offers the capacity to serve 9.9 million passengers per year, according to Infraero.

Fantastic scenery, looks great for Santos Dumont airport with accurate layout and nicely represented terminals, etc... The scenery also covers most of Rio de Janeiro, with "blended" satellite imaging. Performance is good.
Very nice scenery overall, I like it a lot!
All of Paulo's scenery is fantastic and oozing with atmosphere. They seem like labors of love and include not only airports, but miles and miles of detailed country and city. They're a bargain, too. If you have a question, his replies are prompt, friendly and helpful. Maybe you've never flown to Brazil. I'm just a southern Illinois boy, but I like to fly to exotic destinations. (They call where I live "flyover country" for a reason.) Paulo always gives you great departures or arrivals and this is no exception. Rio has the landmarks you'd expect (e.g. Christ of the Andes) but also loads of awesome details like ships.
