Red line as mainaccess to the International Airport

Located in a central point of the region, between the city center, the South Zone, Tijuca and Arco Metropolitano.

Airports connected by the Bay

Creation of a new route connecting Santos Dumont Airport to Galeão International Airport, through Guanabara Bay. This route would significantly reduce travel time between airports, avoiding and alleviating the city's heavy traffic. Furthermore, the landscape of Guanabara Bay is one of the most beautiful in the world, which would provide a unique and incredible experience.




The planning and development of Aerotropolises throughoutthe world is changing
NEW GENERATION INDUSTRIES

This shift reflects a key role that governments and the private sector envision them playing in the emerging 4.0 economy, where rapidly advancing R&D, IT, and automation and ongoing globalization are interacting to generate new generation industries and business services that largely rely of digitalization and rapid - distant flows of people, products, information, ideas and capital.
COMPANIES 4.0

The result is a shift in the mix of companies and industries being recruited to create modern economic strength for the aerotropolis, along with a much greater emphasis on developing institutional, physical, social and technological environments that will attract 4.0 companies and their talented workforces.
