Transportation from the City Center to Brasília Airport
Brasília International Airport is the only airport in the city of Brasília and with its relatively close location to the city, it makes the work of tourists very easy.
Buses that run directly from Brasilia city center to the airport are called “Ônibus Executivo”. Depending on where you are in the city, buses numbered 113, 113.1 and 113.2 take you to the airport quickly.
These buses are taken from the main bus station or from the stops in the north or south hotel areas and the journey takes an average of 70 minutes. Buses depart every 35 minutes between 07.05 and 20.50 on weekdays and do not operate on holidays, including Sunday. Travel ticket price is paid on the bus and in cash.
The city of Brasilia has an extensive public transport network. It is possible to find a bus to the airport from many parts of the city, but you may still need to transfer to get to the airport. For the list of buses passing through the airport, you can check the official website of BSB.
Brasília is a city where transportation apps like UBER and Cabify are used. This is also good for your security because pirate taxis are common here and these pirate taxis are not very reliable. Tensions can arise between taxi drivers and tourists from time to time. Tourists are warned not to be deceived by people who say they are UBER drivers and to compare license plates.
