Getting to Interlagos
Fly into Congonhas, Guarulhos or Catarina, then take a helicopter to the heliport at Interlagos, about 10 minutes from Faria Lima or Guarulhos. By road the trip can take more than an hour in race traffic.
Interlagos sits in the south of São Paulo, and race-weekend roads are slow. The 2025 race drew a record 303,627 people over the weekend, 17% of them from abroad.
Revo, the air partner chosen by the organisers, ran 112 flights over the three days in 2024, including 39 shuttle flights between the circuit and the city, and lands at the Interlagos heliport beside its own lounge.
Congonhas is the closest airport to the track, 30 to 40 minutes by road, but it needs a slot for every movement and is not an airport of entry. International flights clear customs first, usually at Guarulhos.
We quote the jet, the airport and the helicopter as one trip. See private jet charter in São Paulo for the city's airports.
