About riogig.com

Rio de Janeiro GALEÃO

This site, riogig.com, is part of the Airports of the World Guide project for travelers, with versions in Aeropuertosdelmundo.com.ar (Spanish AR), Aeropuertosdelmundo.net (Spanish), Aeroportosdomundo.com (Portuguese), and Airportsdata.net (English).

This project began in 2007 and, thanks to the contributions of collaborators, editors, and users, has grown over the years to offer a free service to travelers at various airports around the world.

Today, we are proud to say that nearly a thousand airports are included in this comprehensive guide.

The current website riogig.com, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, claims to be labeled as the “Official Airport Website.” It is instead an alternative, complementary, and original source that does not aim to compete with any other site, but to provide travelers with additional information to what is available on the official website or other related airport sites.

We hope that riogig.com continues to grow and be a helpful resource for the thousands of passengers passing daily through Rio de Janeiro Galeão International Airport.

What to expect from riogig.com

A guide dedicated exclusively to passengers at Rio Galeão Airport. It answers the most frequently asked questions by the thousands of travelers who pass through GIG each day.

In addition to factual data, we enrich the content with real user experiences so you not only stay informed but also benefit from insights on the airport’s strengths and take precautions about its weaknesses.
