## Description

Integrators and scheduled freighter carriers make Viracopos (VCP) the busiest cargo gateway in Brazil, handling close to 40 percent of the country's air freight imports from a site about 100 km north of São Paulo. The 90,000-square-metre cargo terminal moves pharmaceuticals, electronics, machinery and agribusiness exports, with shipments rising to 93,320 tonnes on the export side in 2024. Customs clearance and bonded warehousing operate on-site, and the Anhanguera and Bandeirantes highways feed cargo into the industrial belt of Campinas, which generates over 80 percent of São Paulo state's GDP. The airport won Cargo Airport of the Year at the 2024 World Air Cargo Awards. A dedicated pharmaceutical cold-chain area underlines its specialisation in time- and temperature-sensitive freight. For freight forwarders, Viracopos is the default entry point for high-value imports into the Brazilian market.
