Covid tests at Fotaleza airport?

Postby faklord » Tue Oct 19, 2021 11:26 am

Does anyone know if Fit to Fly Covid testing (antigen) is available at Fortaleza airport
and if so does it need to be pre-booked?

Unfortunately not.
Where are you before flying out?
We are working with a Lab who comes to our hotel, tests our guests a few hours before departure and you get the result in English and Portuguese to your Whatsapp.

Cheers

They do both PCR and antigen?
How much do they charge?

Yes, they do.
R$250.00 for PCR and R$110.00 or so for Antigen plus R$50.00 for coming. If you are more than one, the R$50.00 applies only once.

Thanks for the reply:
We will be in Cumbuco for a few days before flying out. Where is your hotel?
Also do you know for sure that the airlines (TAP in our case) will accept these results.

Just get in contact with me once you are here and I will take care of it.
Sure it is accepted...

not sure, but I assume yes...they have a hospital...and need to run tests too. Not sure if accepted by airlines...ones here you can ask around.
Guess your guesthouse/hotel will know.
