Book your private jet flight to Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, the “Cidade Maravilhosa”, is one of the most spectacular cities in the world: Guanabara Bay framed by Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado (Christ the Redeemer), the legendary beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, the planet’s most famous Carnival and an incomparable carioca joie de vivre. On a private jet to Rio from London (approximately 11h), you land at Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) — located right in the city centre on the edge of Guanabara Bay — for a VIP welcome with a view of Sugarloaf Mountain as you step off the plane.
flight_takeoffBook a flightVistaJet and LunaJets serve Rio de Janeiro from Europe. The distance from Paris to Rio (9 000 km) requires an ultra-long-range jet (Gulfstream G550+, Falcon 7X). Santos Dumont (SDU) is particularly popular with private jets as it is 10 minutes from the Flamengo district and 20 minutes from Ipanema. From Rio, private jet flights to paradise islands (Angra dos Reis, Fernando de Noronha) extend the journey beyond the everyday.
Rio captivates in every season: Christ the Redeemer (one of the 7 new wonders of the world) at sunrise before the crowds arrive, the Tijuca Forest (the largest urban forest in the world, 32 km² within the city), the markets of Santa Teresa, carioca cuisine (churrasco, moqueca de camarão, açaí), and the beaches of Ipanema and Leblon where carioca beauty is proverbial. Rio Carnival (February–March) is the most intense experience imaginable — book everything (jet, hotel, camarote) at least 6 months in advance.

All your questions about private jets to Rio de Janeiro
Yes. Rio Carnival (5 days before Shrove Tuesday, February–March) is the most intense cultural event on the planet — the Sambadrome with the finest samba schools, street carnivals (blocos) with 300 000 people, and VIP camarotes with premium service. Private jets to Rio are fully booked 8–12 weeks in advance. Suites at the Copacabana Palace and Fasano Rio must be reserved at least 6 months ahead.
Santos Dumont (SDU) is unbeatable for its location — right in the centre of Rio, with a view over Guanabara Bay. It is 20 minutes from Ipanema and 10 minutes from Flamengo. For medium or large jets, Galeão (GIG, 40 km from the centre) is used. For lighter aircraft (Phenom, CJ4), SDU is the obvious choice for its convenience.
Yes. Fernando de Noronha (FEN), a Brazilian archipelago 350 km offshore, is one of the most exclusive island destinations in the world. A private flight from Rio takes 2h30. Access is limited (700 visitors per day) — visit permits must be obtained in advance. The beaches of Baía do Sancho and Praia do Leão are ranked among the most beautiful in the world. Diving with whale sharks is unique.
Yes. Going very early in the morning (07:30 at opening) or late afternoon at sunset allows you to avoid the groups. Private guided tours with certified guides give access to lesser-known areas and historical anecdotes about the statue and Corcovado. A helicopter flight at sunset over Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas is a spectacular alternative.
Paris–Rio (11h) costs between €58 000 and €110 000 depending on the aircraft. A Gulfstream G550 or Falcon 7X is recommended for the 9 000 km journey. During Carnival and New Year's Eve (Réveillon de Copacabana, one of the world's largest), prices rise by 30–50%. Book 10–16 weeks in advance for these periods.
Yes. Angra dos Reis, with its 365 islands in a preserved bay 150 km from Rio, is accessible in 2h30 by road or 30 minutes by air from SDU to the Angra airfield. Luxury yachts and catamarans can be chartered by the day to explore secluded coves, snorkel in crystal-clear waters and have lunch on ultra-fresh seafood at floating restaurants. It is Brazil's answer to the Costa Smeralda.
