This section separates stable airport identifiers from live operating data. Codes, coordinates, timezone, elevation, source identifiers, and accepted reference links are retained here; live arrivals, departures, gates, delays, NOTAMs, and airline schedule changes must still be checked with the airport or carrier.

Wikidata airport entity: Q926029 · Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães International Airport. Administrative area: Salvador. Named after: Salvador · Luís Eduardo Magalhães. Entity official-site cross-check: salvador-airport.com.br
Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport is a near sea-level field at 64 ft (20 m), positioned at 12.9086° S, 38.3225° W in the Southern tropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 9,859 ft / 3,005 m. The airport clock uses America/Bahia (GMT-3, UTC-03:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Lauro de Freitas is the closest retained city-time anchor at 1.7 km. MCZ Maceió is the closest retained airport alternative at 468 km.
SSA is compared with MCZ Maceió at 468 km, REC Recife at 649 km, CNF Belo Horizonte at 960 km, FOR Fortaleza at 1016 km, BSB Brasília at 1085 km inside the retained Brazil airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
SSA-MCZ Maceió: 468 km, about 1h 26m, +0h. SSA-REC Recife: 649 km, about 1h 39m, +0h. SSA-CNF Belo Horizonte: 960 km, about 2h 3m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident SBSV backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. www4.infraero.gov.br is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

OurAirports classifies SSA as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Salvador.
SSA (SBSV) is a near sea-level field at 64 ft (20 m) in the tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
SSA sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
SSA's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 9,859 ft / 3,005 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt (2).
Vinci Airports is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for SSA.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at www4.infraero.gov.br, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
SSA uses America/Bahia (GMT-3, UTC-03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport is about 20 km from central Salvador; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
MCZ Maceió is the closest retained alternate at 468 km, time difference +0h.
www4.infraero.gov.br is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place SSA inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
SSA ranks #15 in the curated Brazil airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 15 airports.
SSA has no other retained airport in the same IANA zone cohort, making America/Bahia a more distinctive signal for this page.
SSA is 64 ft (20 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include SFS 64 ft (20 m) (0 ft delta) · ADA 65 ft (20 m) (1 ft delta) · PIK 65 ft (20 m) (1 ft delta) · PMO 65 ft (20 m) (1 ft delta) · YYJ 63 ft (19 m) (1 ft delta).
SSA's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are MCZ 468 km +0h · REC 649 km +0h · CNF 960 km +0h.

Distance 960 km; estimated travel window 2h 3m; destination zone America/Sao_Paulo is +0h from SSA. Use the live destination clock on this page as a cross-timezone planning cue, not as a live flight schedule.
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Salvador is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from SSA, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
