Ilhéus Airport Meet & Assist — Arrivals, Departures & Connections

Bahia's cocoa coast — Ilhéus and Itacaré. Met at the aircraft, walked to your car.

Jorge Amado Airport (IOS) serves Ilhéus on the southern coast of Bahia and is the nearest airport to Itacaré and the cocoa-coast beach resorts. It is a small airport with domestic flights, mainly from São Paulo, Salvador and Belo Horizonte, and the terminal works in Portuguese. Our Ilhéus meet & assist gives you a greeter who speaks English and Portuguese from the arrival gate — help with hand luggage, help at the baggage belt and a handover to your resort's driver at the kerb — and from the kerb through check-in and security to your gate on departure. Priced per passenger, per direction, in US dollars, all-inclusive, and booked online at least 48 hours ahead.
