Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport

Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport (SBJP) is a medium airport in João Pessoa, Brazil. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code SBJP or IATA code JPA. It sits in South America.

Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport sits near sea level at 217 ft.

Local operations run on America/Fortaleza. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
