Flying private from CGH.
São Paulo Congonhas (SBSP) is one of the main private aviation airports serving São Paulo.
Congonhas sits inside the city about 9 km south of the centre and has the longest runway of São Paulo's in-town airports, at 1,940 m.
It lost its international status in 2008 and is not an airport of entry, so flights from abroad clear customs at another Brazilian airport first, and every movement needs a slot.
Other options in São Paulo include Campo de Marte (SBMT), São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU). Flights are operated by ANAC-authorised air taxi operators.
