Hercilio Luz International Airport
Hercílio Luz International Airport is the main air gateway for Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil, and a large airport serving both holidaymakers and business travellers heading to the island and nearby mainland coast. Known by the codes FLN and SBFL, it sits only 16 feet above sea level, which suits its low-lying coastal setting. For most visitors, this is the practical arrival point for beaches, urban neighbourhoods, and road trips across the wider region, so it is worth knowing that the airport operates on the America/Sao_Paulo time zone.

Quick facts
- Official name: Hercílio Luz International Airport
- Location served: Florianópolis, Brazil
- Airport type: large airport
- Codes: IATA FLN, ICAO SBFL
- Official website: http://www.infraero.gov.br/usa/aero_prev_home.php?ai=228
Airfield and access
The airport has two runways: 03/21, a 4,331-foot concrete runway, and 14/32, a longer 7,874-foot asphalt runway that is lighted, supporting a wider range of operations and helping maintain usability in lower-light conditions. For travellers, those details matter less than what they imply: this is a fully established airport rather than a small regional strip, and it is built to handle regular commercial traffic efficiently. Because Florianópolis mixes island geography with bridge connections to the mainland, onward travel times can vary with traffic, especially around commuter peaks and busy holiday periods, so arriving passengers should leave extra time for ground transport.
