Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, is a key hub for industry, commerce, and tourism. Located at the confluence of five rivers, it boasts a bustling port and an international airport, solidifying its role as a gateway to Southern Brazil. Since the floods in 2024, the RS State has been slowly but steadily recovering from the damage. As of June 2024, Salgado Filho Airport (POA) remains closed, with international passengers being rerouted to Pelotas (PET) and Florianópolis (FLN) airports.
The Serra Gaucha mountains provide a picturesque backdrop for heli-tours, making them a top choice for both local and international tourists, with a fleet of over five helicopters at their disposal. Opt for a local 30-minute transfer to Gramado-Canela, an aerial tour of Porto Alegre lasting 1 hour, or a bespoke 3-hour journey with an overflight of Caracol waterfall, canyons, and traditional villages of Rio Grande do Sul.
We are proud to offer the widest range of safety-vetted private jets, turboprops and helicopters in Porto Alegre and the nearby cities. Flapper is the first company in the region to earn ARGUS® Certified accreditation, showcasing our unwavering commitment to safety.

Porto Alegre is home to five airports, including Eldorado (SIXE) and Belém Novo (SSBN), which have become the main entry points since the flooding of Salgado Filho Airport in 2024. Canoas serves as both a civilian and military base, but currently only accepts ambulance- and diplomatic flights.
