## Description

Guarujá / Santos Airport (SSZ, ICAO SBST) is a Brazilian Air Force base (BAST) whose civil side – a new regional passenger terminal under Infraero – came on stream in the mid-2020s. Its runway and apron are built around military and general-aviation use, not freighter operations, and there is no dedicated air-cargo facility. What gives the location its logistics weight sits 17 km away: the Port of Santos, the largest seaport in Latin America. Time-critical air cargo for the Santos and São Paulo region is processed at Guarulhos (GRU), the country's main freight gateway. For forwarders, SSZ is an emerging passenger field beside a maritime powerhouse, not an air-cargo terminal.
