Balneário Camboriú is arguably one of the hottest places on the south coast of Brazil. The paradisiacal beaches and the robust service structure make the city in Santa Catarina a guaranteed place on the list of the great summer attractions in the country. The praised local infrastructure, which has already earned the city the nickname “Dubai Brasileira”, allows visitors to reach Balneário Camboriú in the most comfortable and quick way possible: on an air taxi trip, either by jet or helicopter.
Business aviation passengers benefit from the excellent offer of airport structures in and around Balneário Camboriú. In the city, there are three commercial heliports and a private one. Less than 35 minutes from there, two airports receive business aircraft of almost any size. In this article we bring possible routes, available models, flight time, and the price of air taxi operations in Camboriú.
Airports near Balneário Camboriú
There are two options recommended for those with Balneário Camboriú as their destination – both about 30 kilometers away from the city center. To the north is located Navegantes International Airport (SBNF) and, to the south, the Condominium Aeronáutico Costa Esmeralda (SDEN).
Navegantes Airport (NVT, SBNF)
Navegantes Airport is the best structured in the region. An airport serving the Itajaí Valley, Navegantes has the capacity to operate landings and takeoffs for aircraft of the size of commercial aviation – that is, it is operational for a wide range of business aircraft, including the largest ultra-long-range business jets, such as the Gulfstream 650 or Global 6000. Passengers board and disembark through the executive hangar and have access to a beautiful VIP lounge, equipped with TV, conference room, and various amenities. The trip between Navegantes and Praia Central, in Balneário Camboriú, takes an average of 35 – 40 minutes by car.
Porto Belo Aerodrome (SDEN)
Located in the city of Porto Belo, Costa Esmeralda has a smaller structure than Navegantes and serves only air taxi flights. With a runway of 1189 meters, the airport receives landings from helicopters, in addition to turboprops and small and medium-sized jets. Given the proximity, Costa Esmeralda is the right choice for those staying at the Ponta dos Ganchos Resort. However, if the final destination is Balneário Camboriú, the transfer by car does not usually take more than 30-35 minutes.
How to get to Balneário Camboriú by Air Taxi
The structure available for air taxi aircraft gives travelers many possibilities. The traditional and widely used King Air planes are able to easily connect Balneário Camboriú to all state capitals in the South and Southeast in less than 2 hours.
A flight between Porto Alegre and Porto Belo Aerodrome, for example, takes just 1 hour and 20 minutes aboard the King Air B200. A trip on the Rio de Janeiro – Navegantes route takes 1 hour and 55 minutes of flight, using the King Air C90. São Paulo is 1 hour away, flying the modern Citation CJ3 and Learjet 45 jets.
For travelers from more distant locations, long-range planes are also available. This is true for Brazilians from the Midwest, Northeast and North regions, as well as passengers from other countries, since Flapper is qualified to carry out international operations. The most popular route is between Buenos Aires and Navegantes. Taking off from San Fernando International (SADF), Argentine customers arrive in Navegantes in 1h and 55 minutes.
Balneario Camboriu by Helicopter
For those who prefer to travel aboard a helicopter, Balneário Camboriú oozes options. There are four helipads in a city with lean dimensions. For this reason, travel between hotels and helipads is minimal, reinforcing the practicality of opting for a helicopter.
In addition to the Heliponto Helisilva (SJKD), which is private, on the Flapper platforms passengers also have the option of Heliponto BC (SNTJ), which is the main operator in the region. Its owner, Diego Steffens, says that in high season, between December and February, the helipad can carry out 300 operations per month. “A good part of our customers come from Brusque, Blumenau, Joinville, Florianópolis or Curitiba”, he says.
Heliponto BC also has approval to perform night landings and takeoffs, and is able to accomodate models like the Bell 429. In addition, there are also the ANAC approved heliports Marina Beach Tower (SIHN) and Vianna III (SSJD) in the city. The three models most received by Heliponto BC are single-engine helicopters, which fly at an average speed that varies between 150 km / h and 210 km / h and have an average range of 2.5 hours of flight.
Florianópolis and Curitiba are both located within the range of any single-engine helicopter from Balneário Camboriú. Onboard Esquilo, the capital of Paraná is 58 minutes from Camboriú. The time is even shorter from the capital of Santa Catarina, with the flight lasting a mere 32 minutes. Below, we list the most popular helicopter quotes bound for Balneário Camboriú.
