Location
Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
Fernando de Noronha Airport (IATA: FEN, ICAO: SBFN) is a small regional airport serving the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located approximately 350 kilometers off the northeastern coast of Brazil. The island is a protected marine national park, and the airport serves as the sole air gateway to this ecologically sensitive destination. The airport handles a limited number of daily flights, primarily connecting the island to Recife and Natal on the Brazilian mainland. Passenger numbers are controlled in part by the island's strict environmental policies, which limit the number of visitors at any given time. Due to the remote and protected nature of the island, the airport operates with modest infrastructure suited to the low-volume, high-value tourism traffic it receives. It is managed under Brazilian civil aviation authority oversight.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building adequate for the limited passenger traffic the island receives.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on the island is limited, with taxis, buggies, and rental vehicles available to reach hotels and attractions from the airport.
Airlines here
Azul Brazilian Airlines and TRIP Linhas Aéreas have historically operated services connecting Fernando de Noronha to Recife and Natal.
