Tips for 45 min Connections
International arrivals must clear Federal Police immigration and collect/recheck bags through customs before any connection, so build in extra buffer.
The terminal is small enough that gate-to-gate walks rarely exceed 10 minutes even at the far ends.
Signage is bilingual (Portuguese/English) but staffing at transfer desks can be limited outside peak hours, so ask ground staff early if unsure.
Peak congestion tends to hit in early morning and early evening waves tied to São Paulo and Rio shuttle flights.
If connecting from an international flight to domestic, verify whether your bag needs to be re-checked after customs, as this is a common bottleneck.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
All gates are within a single compact terminal building, so passengers move between areas entirely on foot with no shuttle or train required. International arrivals must pass through Federal Police immigration control and customs before reaching the domestic transfer area or connecting flights, which is the main added step compared to a same-zone connection.
