Airports at each end
Leaving São Paulo
São Paulo is served by 4 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Congonhas–Deputado Freitas Nobre Airport (CGH), 9 km (6 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, 21 km), Viracopos International Airport (VCP, 79 km), Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport (SJK, 87 km).
Arriving in Perth
Perth is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Perth International Airport (PER), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 11,299-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perth International Airport | PER | 10 km (6 mi) | 11,299 ft | 67 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 13,569 km (8,432 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
