| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre Airport | CGH | 49 km (30 mi) | 6,365 ft | 2,631 ft |
| São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport | GRU | 60 km (37 mi) | 12,139 ft | 2,461 ft |
| Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport (regional) | SJK | 95 km (59 mi) | 8,780 ft | 2,120 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,365 ft, CGH handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 2,631 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
