Congonhas (CGH) is the city airport, 8 km from Paulista Avenue in central Sao Paulo. It handles only domestic flights. Guarulhos (GRU) is the international airport, 25 km northeast of the center. If you are connecting to an international flight, you need GRU. If your final destination is Sao Paulo itself, CGH saves 30 to 60 minutes in ground transport versus GRU.
The CPTM train station Congonhas is a short walk from the terminal. Rideshare to Paulista Avenue takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. Taxis use the meter. During rush hour, Marginal Pinheiros traffic can double ground transport times. Late-night arrivals after 22:00 have minimal congestion and the trip is typically under 15 minutes.
Airport Bus Service operates a direct shuttle between CGH and GRU. The trip takes 60 to 90 minutes depending on traffic, sometimes longer during morning and evening peaks. Fare is around BRL 75. Budget at least 3 hours total if you need to move between airports and catch an international departure at GRU.

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.
