## Description

QPS is the IATA code for Campo Fontenelle in Pirassununga, in the interior of São Paulo state — not a commercial airport but the home of the Brazilian Air Force Academy (AFA). The base is dedicated to military pilot training and is closed to civil scheduled passenger and freight services. Air cargo from the region benefits from the short hop to nearby Viracopos in Campinas, Brazil's leading cargo airport with a bonded terminal and a strong integrator presence, as well as to Guarulhos. Receita Federal customs clearance is handled at those airports rather than at Pirassununga. For forwarders, Fontenelle is a military reference point with no freight function of its own.
