Getting to Ibiti has never been so easy - and so enchanting. Now, a regular SP-Ibiti flight connects São Paulo to Ibiti Projeto in just 1h20, shortening distances and bringing guests closer to one of Brazil's most unique experiences.
Thanks to an unprecedented partnership with FlapperAs a reference in executive aviation, weekends now have a new possibility: take off from Campo de Marte on Friday afternoon and, a few hours later, be immersed in the trails, waterfalls and flavors that make Ibiti Projeto a unique destination in the world.
"More than shortening distances, this project represents a milestone in the consolidation of Ibiti as a benchmark destination for sustainable hospitality, regeneration and culture. We want access to be as special as the experience that awaits each guest here," says Hugo Cambraia, Ibiti's CEO.
Comfort in the air, freedom on earth
The route is operated in a Caravan Grand, a safe and comfortable aircraft for up to nine passengers, with a large luggage compartment for bicycles, musical instruments or suitcases for those coming to experience intense days of nature and well-being.
"Ibit Projeto is ready to position itself as one of the favorite weekend getaway destinations for the São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte public," says Paul Malicki, CEO of Flapper. "We chose the Caravan Grand because of its safety and luggage capacity, replicating our model of shared flights already consolidated on other routes."

The runway that was born from a dream
Recently renovated, the Carolina de Assis Aerodrome (SJXM) now has an asphalt sidewalk, an expanded patio and operations compatible with executive aircraft such as Caravan, King Air and Pilatus.
Located at an altitude of 1,100 meters, the runway is 860 meters long and 15 meters wide, with an 8º incline and a yard that can hold up to 4 aircraft.
The dream of the runway was born with Carlinhos Repetto, founder of Ibiti Projeto, inspired by mountain airports like Courchevel. In challenging terrain, in the first decade of the 2000s he made it possible to build it in a clearing in the middle of the forest, without having to cut down a single tree. The airfield was named after his mother, Carolina de Assis Repetto (1920-2025).
The first woman to earn her aviator's license in Minas Gerais in 1939, Dona Lilina, as she was known, challenged the standards of the time with boldness and courage. She flew aerobatics in her PP-GAN airplane, represented Minas Gerais in competitions and also stood out as a self-taught architect and the matriarch of a large family. Carolina passed away in February 2025 at the age of 104.
Celebration
The official inauguration, on September 18, brought together authorities, partners and friends of Ibiti Projeto, marking the beginning of a new stage for sustainable tourism in Ibiti Projeto.
Firefighting
The runway not only shortens the distance between São Paulo and Ibiti Projeto, but is also a strategic support point for fighting fires in the region. In 2021, during a fire in the park, the operation was only circumvented with the help of aircraft hired by Ibiti Projeto, which used the then grass airfield as a base. With the renovation and asphalting, the runway now offers even safer and more efficient infrastructure to support emergency actions, as well as allowing guests to fly exclusively.
