By air

The modern terminal building of the international airport Pinto Martins  was opened in 1998. An extension of the same size should be ready by 2014. Services here include federal police, post office, health authorities, internet cafe, tourist information and travel agencies. Airlines fly to almost every major city in Brazil and also other capitals of South America, mostly via Sao Paulo. Today's flights can be checked online.

Direct flights to Europe:

Daily to Lisboa by TAP

Weekly to Amsterdam, via Natal with Arke Fly, often cheaper if bought at

FlyBrazil.

Weekly to Rome and Milan with Air Italy.

Other international flights:


To Lisbon via Cape Verde every Sunday by TACV.

The Miami route keeps opening, closing and reopening again. Delta is currently having their go. Otherwise the direct route from [Manaus] is an alternative to Sao Paulo.

Allow at least an hour for immigration control if you fly in from abroad. Double it if there is another international flight shortly before yours.



There is an urban bus 404 Aeroporto/Benfica which runs frequently between the airport and the center, where you can find buses to virtually anywhere in Fortaleza (Not recommended at night). This bus also stops at the main bus station. Going to the urban beaches can either be done this way, or by crossing the parking lot(keep slightly to the right) and the highway (somewhat on your left) and catch the 027 Siqueira Papicu/Aeroporto, which will take you pretty straight to Praça Portugal/Shopping Aldeota in 25 minutes, traffic allowing. (Not recommended at night) From here you can either walk some 7 blocks along Avenida Desembargador Moreira to the beach of Meireles, or you can wait for Circular 1 which passes within a block of most hotels in Meireles and Praia Iracema. Reverse this process (Start with Circular 2) to get to the airport, which is slightly easier as the bus then
