General
The airport of Salvador houses both civil as well as military tenants. Some general aviation activity can also be found here.
Layout
The airport has a small runway on the west side mainly used by general aviation. The general aviation ramps are on the north west side of this 17/35 runway. The main runway, 10/28 divides the military and civil sides. The military are north and the civil terminal is on the south side. A bit more to the east, a cargo ramp can be found.
Getting There
The airport is well north east of Salvador, near the city of Lauro do Freitas on the Atlantic coast. Take the provincial highway BA-099 from Salvador eastbound. This is also called Avenida Luiz Viana Filho. Follow this road until you reach the large traffic square, Primeiro Rotula do Aeroport. Go northbound on BA-099/Estrada do Coco. This runs past the north side of the airport. Take the second exit from the large roundabout, Segunda Rotula do Aeroport still following 099/Coco. Shortly after, you will reach the entrance road to the airport on your right hand side.
