Salvador Airport, also known as Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport is an airport servicing the Brazilian city of Salvador de Bahia, known as the “Brazilian Capitol of Happiness”. It is located 40 kilometers along a scenic road from downtown Salvador.
The air traffic of the Salvador Airport rose up to include 30% off all passenger movement in Northeastern Brazil. Much of this comes from the reputation of Salvador de Bahia as a tourist destination – the scenic road from the city is itself a wonder of its own. It is quite easy to find a hotel or accommodation in either the vicinity or the city itself. High quality hotels and resorts can be accessed from the airport after only a short drive. If you’re looking to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime, take your time to visit the Bahia province beaches and enjoy the wonders of the local nightlife. Booking rooms doesn’t have to tie you down in one spot because you can easily hire one of the many taxi operators, or even rent your own car from a car hire agency. You’ll get your money’s worth even if you tell them to slow down while they drive you into town.
