## Description

A downtown passenger airport that doubles as an express-cargo gateway – Congonhas (CGH) sits just eight kilometres from São Paulo's financial centre. The single terminal handles only domestic and regional flights, so air freight moves as belly cargo aboard scheduled jets and through the courier operations of Azul Cargo and LATAM Cargo. Tight slot limits, noise rules and short runways rule out dedicated freighters here. For international shipments and full freighter capacity, forwarders turn to Guarulhos (GRU) and Campinas–Viracopos (VCP) nearby. CGH's value lies in speed: time-critical documents and light consignments reach the centre of the city faster than from any outlying hub.
