The Atlantic coast of Brazil, by private aircraft.
Brazil
Flying Privately to Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is served by two fields for private arrivals: Santos Dumont, on the bay a few minutes from the business district and the southern beaches, and Galeão, the international gateway used by long-range aircraft.
European sectors are long. Long-range types normally operate them non-stop in typical conditions, while heavy jets usually require a technical stop. We state which applies to your dates rather than assuming a non-stop.
Transfers along the coast and over the hills are often quicker by helicopter, and are planned around the actual landing time rather than the schedule.
