santos dumont regional airport

Santos Dumont Airport (IATA Airport Code: SDU), serves Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is that city's second major airport, located only 2 km from the city's downtown. The name of the airport honours aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont. Currently, it is administered by Infraero. The airport was Rio de Janeiro's first airport. It was built on the coast, with no space for expansion. It is one of the most heavily crowded Brazilian airports, with approximately 6 million passengers per year, mainly business travelers. Due to a fire that almost destroyed the main terminal in 1999, the airport was closed for 6 months, and passengers needed to use Galeo International Airport which was located much farther from the city's downtown.
