Viracopos International Airport, sometimes known as São Paulo/Campinas or São Paulo/Viracopos, is an international airport that serves the municipality of Campinas in the state of São Paulo. On January 6, 1987, the airport’s name was officially standardized to its current form. It derives its name from the neighborhood where it is situated.
The origins of Viracopos International Airport can be traced back to a simple airfield near Campinas that was constructed during the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution in São Paulo. In 1946, shortly after World War II, the first runway was paved. Over the following years, the airport began to take shape, with the construction of the first hangar in 1948 and the terminal in 1950. During the 1950s, it started being utilized by cargo companies. In 1960, it underwent improvements, including the construction of a 3,240-meter runway capable of accommodating the first generation of intercontinental jet planes, such as the Boeing 707. The airport was officially inaugurated on October 19, 1960, which coincided with its first international flight.
Moreover, Viracopos International Airport has served (and continues to serve) as an alternate airport for Rio de Janeiro-Galeão International Airport and São Paulo airports, primarily due to its infrequent closures caused by adverse weather conditions (averaging only five days per year).
As the second busiest cargo airport in Brazil, Viracopos International Airport features 77,000 square meters (646,000 square feet) of cargo terminals, 1,700 square meters (18,300 square feet) dedicated to animal cargo, and 1,480 cubic meters (52,200 square feet) of refrigerated space. Functioning as a prominent import/export hub, Viracopos benefits from “express lanes” for courier traffic, which are notably swift and relatively free of bureaucracy compared to Brazilian standards.
