Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport (GIG) is stored for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ICAO SBGL. Timezone America/Sao_Paulo. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.
Overview
Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport (GIG) is the airport record stored for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. IATA GIG and ICAO SBGL come from this product's airport table, which the parser uses to enrich origin and destination on GDS lines. When a cryptic segment prints GIG as the first or second half of a city pair, the converter can attach the airport name, city, country, and timezone America/Sao_Paulo to that point of travel. This page does not list airlines that operate here, check-in desks, or today's flights. Those operational facts are not in the dataset. Other Brazil airports in this catalog include GRU (Sao Paulo), BSB (Brasilia). City-level IATA code: RIO. Use PNR tools when you already have a booking dump; do not treat this article as a timetable.
How to use this page
- Confirm the three-letter token on the ticket or PNR is GIG, not a similar code.
- Open the PNR parser and paste the full itinerary that contains GIG.
- Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
- Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for GIG.
- Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.
Example
Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 GIGLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read GIG as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If GIG is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
