The hub

São Paulo, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

São Paulo concentrates over 60% of Brazil's GDP in its metropolitan area, hosting the B3 exchange, Faria Lima's investment banks, and regional headquarters for firms ranging from Itaú and BTG Pactual to Google and Goldman Sachs. The city's private aviation ecosystem is unusually layered: Congonhas (SBSP) handles domestic turboprop and jet traffic with slot coordination; Campo de Marte (SBMT) serves piston and smaller turbine aircraft; and Catarina Executive Airport (SBEC), located 60 km southwest in São Roque, offers the most capable dedicated infrastructure for long-range jets, with a 3,000 m runway, full ILS, and hangar capacity for aircraft up to BBJ size.

International private arrivals typically use Guarulhos (SBGR) or Viracopos (SBKP) in Campinas when operating transatlantic legs, though Catarina has positioned itself as the preferred executive gateway for ultra-long-range aircraft seeking to avoid the congestion of commercial hubs. The transfer from Catarina to the Faria Lima financial district runs approximately 50–70 minutes by road, often shortened via helicopter to 15 minutes — a service actively used by UHNWI clients during peak business weeks and Brazilian Grand Prix season at Interlagos.

Peak demand periods cluster around the Brazilian Grand Prix in November, São Paulo Fashion Week, the Lollapalooza Brazil festival, and quarterly earnings cycles for publicly listed companies on B3. Year-round heli-commuting between Catarina, Campo de Marte, and rooftop helipads in the city remains a structural feature of executive mobility, making São Paulo one of the largest helicopter markets globally alongside New York and Tokyo.

Arrivals

Arrivals in São Paulo

Inbound flights to São Paulo land at the dedicated private aviation terminal or an adjacent field closer to downtown — your concierge picks the optimal arrival based on customs hours, ground-transfer time and the runway length your jet category needs. Most São Paulo arrivals can be confirmed 24–48 hours ahead; during high-demand weeks (sports finals, fashion weeks, ski breaks, summer peaks) inbound slots fill 5–7 days out. The arrival terminal typically offers VIP lounges, dedicated customs and immigration channels, conference rooms, premium catering and pre-arranged luxury ground transport. Helicopter transfers from the airport to nearby resorts, downtown helipads or onward destinations can be added to any inbound charter.
