Tancredo Neves International Airport (CNF), also known as Confins International Airport, is the main gateway to Belo Horizonte and Minas Gerais, located about 30 km north of the city in the municipality of Confins. Opened in 1984 and named after the former president-elect, it serves as a major hub for Azul and handles domestic and international flights. Its modern terminal complex has been expanded to accommodate growing passenger traffic.
💡 Local Tip
For a quick Minas Gerais treat, the landside café near arrivals often sells fresh pão de queijo and local coffee at better prices than the airside shops.
🚖 Getting There
Executive bus services (such as Conexão Aeroporto) link CNF to central Belo Horizonte, Savassi, and Pampulha, while taxis and ride-hailing are faster but pricier. The airport sits off MG-010, so allow extra time during weekday rush hours. Rental cars are available in the terminal if you plan to explore Minas Gerais.
