This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for Brasília–Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (IATA: BSB, ICAO: SBBR), which is an International airport serving Brasília, Brazil's capital city. Since 22 April 1999 the airport is named after Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira (1902–1976), the 21st President of Brazil. It is located in the Lago Sul administrative region of the Federal District of Brazil. Some of its facilities are shared with the Brazilian Air Force. It is operated by Inframerica.
It includes corrected aprons, ramps, gates, taxiways, lighting system, city buildings, ortho-photoscenery for the airfield area, and (XP11 only) airport ground services (like push back).
Brasília was only a project when in 1956 President Juscelino Kubitschek landed for the first time in the Central Plateau. However, Vera Cruz Airport, built in 1955 by the then Deputy-Governor of Goiás, Bernardo Sayão, at the request of the chairman of the location of the New Federal Capital, Marechal José Pessoa, already existed. On 2 October 1955, the airport received the first crew of workers that would build the new capital. This facility was located where today is the Integrated Bus and Train Terminal of Brasília. It had a dirt runway of 2,700 metres (8,900 ft) and a passenger terminal in a makeshift, cob-wall shack covered with buriti-leaves. In 1965 Oscar Niemeyer proposed a project for Brasília Airport to replace the wooden terminal. However, due to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, the military-government chose to build the project of Tércio Fontana Pacheco, an architect of the Brazilian Air Force Ministry. The airport is thus one of the few important buildings in Brasília that is not related to Niemeyer. This building was opened in 1971 and since 1990 it has been under renovation following an architectural concept of the architect Sergio Roberto Parada. In 1990 Brasília International Airport underwent its first major renovation and began to gain its present form with a central body and two satellites. The first phase included the construction of an access-viaduct to the passenger terminal and metal cover inaugurated in 1992 and the first circular satellite, inaugurated in 1994. In the second phase, the main body of the passenger terminal was renovated to include a shopping-mall and the satellite received nine jetways. In 2005, a second runway was opened. In April 2014 the South Concourse, which serves domestic flights, was opened. Until April 2014 the terminal was capable of handling 9 million passengers per year, but actually handled around 14 million. With numbers constantly increasing, the former terminal for general aviation originally built in 1988 was renovated and transformed into Passenger Terminal 2. It was opened for traffic on 2 August 2010. The Brazilian Integrated Air Traffic Control and Air Defense Center section 1 (Cindacta I) is located in the vicinity of the airport. On 31 August 2009, Infraero unveiled a BRL514.8 million (USD306.06 million; EUR224.76 million) investment plan to renovate Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, focusing on the preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Brasília being one of the venue cities, and the Summer Olympics in 2016 which were to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:
- Enlargement of apron and taxiways (BRL 34.5 million). Completed in April 2013
- Renovation of the existing passenger terminal (BRL 22.5 million). Completed in November 2015
- Enlargement of the passenger terminal (BRL 439 million). Completed in April 2015
- Parking (BRL 18 million). Completed in April 2014
Between 2012 and 2014, the consortium INFRAMERICA invested R$1.2 billion: remodeling the terminal, increasing from 13 to 29 jetways and 40 to 70 airplane positions. For 2016-19 there are planned investments for the international area, new parking construction, four new hotels in the vicinity, a new business area and other facilities.

3. Run X-Plane. This will order them well in your "scenery_packs.ini" file. The correct order must be:
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/BR DF SBBR - Brasilia Intl Airport v1.0.0/
SCENERY_PACK Custom Scenery/BR-DF-SBBR/
If you're not sure, after you install both scenery files, and after you run X-Plane once, exit X-Plane, and open your "\X-Plane 11\Custom Scenery\scenery_packs.ini" with Notepad or similar, to check the two files priority order are correct, as stated above.
