- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

The business capital's downtown airport, 25 minutes from Avenida Faria Lima and Itaim Bibi, with Líder's FBO and a saturated slot regime. Short runway, night curfew and severe parking limits push most jets to Guarulhos or Sorocaba after drop-off; helicopter transfer from Congonhas is standard. Customs available for cleared flights.
