As of today, Flapper is proud to be the only company running weekly flights on the route São Paulo – Angra dos Reis. The service is based on the fleet of certified turbo-prop Caravan Grand aircraft and it encompasses all the benefits of private aviation, i.e. the personalized approach to each passenger, access to VIP lounge, and complimentary snacks and drinks.
Flight Schedule and Pricing
The flights take off every Friday and Sunday, with additional service on holidays and during high-season. The price on the high-demand route varies between R$900 – R$ 2200 per person (around US$ 440), while the price tag for the empty leg is R$300 per person (ca US$ 80), one-way. The passenger needs to purchase their return flight separately. The generic schedule looks as follows (last-updated: April 17th 2013):
Fridays: | ||||
Campo de Marte [SBMT] | Angra dos Reis [SDAG] | 14:30 | 15:30 | R$1100 – 2200 |
Angra dos Reis [SDAG] | Campo de Marte [SBMT] | 16:30 | 17:30 | R$900 |
Sundays: | ||||
Campo de Marte [SBMT] | Angra dos Reis [SDAG] | 14:30 | 15:30 | R$900 |
Campo de Marte [SBMT] | Angra dos Reis [SDAG] | 16:30 | 17:30 | R$1100 – 2200 |
Accordingly, if you are in São Paulo, you’d want to opt for a weekend flight, which takes off on Friday, with a return on Sunday afternoon. However, you can save almost R$1100 if decide to spend your week-days in Angra dos Reis instead. Just select the affordable R$300 flight on Sunday and take Flapper “empty leg” the following Friday on the way back to Campo de Marte Airport in São Paulo.

The flights take off from São Paulo’s only dedicated executive airport, Campo de Marte (SBMT). Just access the airport from Avenida Olavo Fontoura and direct yourself to the hangar of TAG, our partner for São Paulo – Angra dos Reis service.
All passengers of São Paulo – Angra dos Reis service enjoy access to the lounge located at Helimarte hangar (please double-check the details on your reservation as we might sometimes swap the lounge for the other venue).
At the lounge you will be welcomed by our team, and offered complimentary snacks, coffee, and soda. Subject to promotions available at a given time, we would also serve craft beer or champagne.
The lounge is very spacious and accommodates easily up to 20 people. My favorite part of the lounge experience is the proximity to the hangar, what allows for a true private aviation experience.
Ten minutes before the departure, the passengers are called for a take-off. After a short passage through the hangar, you’ll be boarding the Caravan Grand aircraft taxied in front of the venue.
