Rio de Janeiro's urban general aviation and motorsport hub.

Location
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Jacarepaguá – Roberto Marinho Airport is a public airport located in the Jacarepaguá neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It primarily serves general aviation, executive aviation, and charter operations rather than scheduled commercial airline service. The airport is named in honor of Roberto Marinho, the prominent Brazilian media entrepreneur and founder of Grupo Globo. The airport is situated near the Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet, a motorsport circuit also known as the Jacarepaguá circuit, which hosted Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix events during the 1980s and early 1990s. The area around the airport underwent significant development in connection with the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, as the Barra da Tijuca district nearby served as the main hub for Olympic venues. With IATA code RRJ and ICAO code SBJR, the airport handles light aircraft, helicopters, and business jets. It plays a supporting role in the broader Rio de Janeiro aviation ecosystem alongside Galeão International Airport and Santos Dumont Airport.
