Private jet charter Dumont: what you need to know

Airport History

Santos Dumont Airport, named after the pioneering Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos Dumont, holds a significant place in Brazilian aviation history. Opened in 1936, it was Rio de Janeiro’s first civil airport and served as the city’s main international gateway until the opening of Galeão Airport.
