São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport, also referred to as Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport, is the primary international airport serving São Paulo. It is commonly known locally as Cumbica Airport or Guarulhos Airport, named after the district and municipality where it is located, respectively.
Originally, the plans for São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport included three runways and four passenger terminals. However, the construction began with two runways and two terminals on August 11, 1980, as the initial phase. The airport was officially inaugurated on January 20, 1985 and quickly became São Paulo’s main airport, surpassing São Paulo–Congonhas Airport.
Since November 2001, the airport has been named after André Franco Montoro, the former Governor of São Paulo state, and in 2012, the airport underwent a rebranding and became known as GRU Airport.
In 2012, São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport was the busiest airport in Brazil in terms of passenger traffic, aircraft operations, and cargo handled. It ranked as the second busiest airport in Latin America for passenger traffic, trailing behind Mexico City International Airport. Guarulhos Airport, along with São Paulo-Congonhas, Brasília, Belo Horizonte-Pampulha, and Rio de Janeiro-Santos Dumont, operates with slot restrictions, allowing a maximum of 45 operations per hour.
Since 2012, a consortium consisting of Invepar S/A, Airports Company South Africa, and Infraero has been operating São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport. Additionally, some of the airport’s facilities are shared with the São Paulo Air Force Base of the Brazilian Air Force.
