Airports at each end
Leaving Sydney
Sydney is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 12,999-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
Arriving in Mauá
Mauá is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre Airport (CGH), 20 km (12 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,365 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport (GRU, 26 km), Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport (SJK, 78 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |

| Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre Airport | CGH | 20 km (12 mi) | 6,365 ft | 2,631 ft |
| São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport | GRU | 26 km (16 mi) | 12,139 ft | 2,461 ft |
| Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport (regional) | SJK | 78 km (48 mi) | 8,780 ft | 2,120 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 13,350 km (8,295 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
