Francisco de Assis Airport (JDF/SBJF) is a general aviation airport serving Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Today it mainly supports general aviation, flight training, and executive aircraft.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm handling, fuel, and after-hours access before arrival—JDF is a small general aviation field, and services can be limited on weekends or holidays.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the most practical way to reach downtown Juiz de Fora, since the airport is only a few kilometers from the center. Public bus service may be available nearby but is less convenient with luggage. If your ticket says Juiz de Fora but your flight is commercial, double-check whether it departs from IZA in Goianá, roughly a 40–50 minute drive away.
