Jacarepaguá–Roberto Marinho Airport (SBJR) is a general aviation airfield in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, renamed in 2008 in honour of journalist Roberto Pisani Marinho. It offers a single hard-surfaced runway suited to light aircraft and general aviation operations, with no instrument landing system.
Jacarepaguá–Roberto Marinho Airport is a general aviation airfield located in the Barra da Tijuca neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is jointly operated, during a transitional period, by Infraero and XP Inc, and serves as a base for private and training flying rather than airline traffic, making it a useful destination for simulator pilots wanting a taste of Rio's general aviation scene away from the city's larger international airports.
The airfield sits at coordinates 22°59.25'S 43°22.20'W in the Barra da Tijuca area of Rio de Janeiro, at an elevation of 10 feet above mean sea level.
Jacarepaguá has a single physical runway, 03/21, surfaced in hard material (asphalt or concrete), measuring 2,958 feet in length and equipped with lighting on both directions. There is no instrument landing system at the field.
No communications frequencies are currently published for Jacarepaguá–Roberto Marinho Airport, and the field has no ILS. Pilots planning a visit should consult current Brazilian aeronautical information publications for up-to-date radio and navigation details before flight.
The airport underwent extensive renovation completed in 2008, after which it was renamed in honour of Roberto Pisani Marinho, a journalist and former president of the Globo Network.
Jacarepaguá is dedicated to general aviation and is home base for a number of pilots. It is currently operated jointly by Infraero and XP Inc during a transitional arrangement.
