Catering: Airline catering available; however, hotels recommended.

Security: Guards and guard posts at many locations; the airport is considered very secure. If hiring outside security to protect aircraft, guards must be registered with airport administration (INFRAERO, the outsourced company that operates most of Brazil's airports).
Ground transportation: Taxies, buses and rental cars available; as there are security issues with some taxis, it is recommended to have handler hire vetted cars and drivers.
Distance and driving time to downtown: Approximately 25 km/16 sm; driving time depends on time of day, as surface transportation can be extremely congested.
