BSB–CGH Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Brasilia to Congonhas: Capital to Sao Paulo's City Airport
BSB-CGH is one of Brazil's highest-frequency domestic routes. It connects the federal capital to Sao Paulo's downtown airport. LATAM and GOL dominate the schedule with roughly 20 combined daily nonstop departures. Block time is about 1 hour 40 minutes over a distance of 870 km. Most flights use 737-800 or A320neo equipment. The route carries heavy government and corporate traffic during weekdays, with Monday morning and Friday evening flights consistently filling first.
Congonhas: Location Advantage and Slot Constraints
Congonhas sits inside the city, just 8 km from Paulista Avenue. That proximity makes it the preferred airport for domestic travelers headed to central Sao Paulo. The airport operates under strict slot controls due to a single main runway and limited ramp space. Delays during afternoon thunderstorm season (October through March) are common, particularly in the 15:00 to 18:00 window. Passengers connecting to international flights should fly into Guarulhos (GRU) instead. There is no airside link between CGH and GRU. The surface transfer takes 60 to 90 minutes by bus or car.
