Flying private from PLU.
Belo Horizonte Pampulha (SBBH) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Belo Horizonte.
Pampulha is Belo Horizonte's city airport, 9 km from the centre, and it was Brazil's busiest airport for business aviation in the first half of 2025.
It is not an airport of entry, so flights from abroad clear customs at Confins first, and it closes overnight from 23:30 local unless permission is arranged.
Other options in Belo Horizonte include Belo Horizonte Confins (CNF). Flights are operated by ANAC-authorised air taxi operators.
