## Description

More an aerospace works than a conventional freight field, São José dos Campos owes its weight to the Embraer headquarters next door. The civil airport shares its grounds with Brazil's aerospace research centre (DCTA) and the ITA technology institute, forming the country's leading aviation cluster in the Vale do Paraíba between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Its apron and runway can take wide-body freighters, and even the Antonov An-225 has landed here. Cargo is heavily industrial: aircraft components, engines and supplier parts for Embraer dominate the traffic, alongside general air freight handled at the terminal. Since 2022 the concessionaire Aeropart has run the site, rebranded SJK Airport, under a 30-year contract. The airport sits on the Via Dutra (BR-116), the main corridor between Brazil's two largest cities, easing pre- and on-carriage to the ports of Santos and Rio. For forwarders, SJK is best read as a specialised hub for aviation and project cargo rather than a parcel gateway.
