Location

Campo Délio Jardim de Mattos Airport, designated ICAO code SBAF, is a public-use airport located in the Afonsos district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It primarily serves general aviation, executive flights, and military operations, functioning under the oversight of the Brazilian Air Force. The airport is situated within the Campo dos Afonsos military aviation complex, one of Brazil's oldest and most historically significant aviation sites.
