Airports at each end
Leaving São Bernardo do Campo
São Bernardo do Campo is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre Airport (CGH), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,365 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

Arriving in 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.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport | SYD | 9 km (6 mi) | 12,999 ft | 21 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 13,344 km (8,292 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
