Trains run every 30 minutes from around 5am to midnight. This route is significantly cheaper than driving, as the Dutra highway (BR-116) suffers chronic congestion.Taxis from Paulista Avenue or Consolação cost R$90–150 and take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hails (99 or Uber) are widely used and typically R$70–120. Executive bus services (Guarucoop, Lira) run from Tietê terminal and Paulista (R$52–62). Traffic on the Dutra highway peaks heavily in afternoon and evening hours.

LATAM's GRU–CNF service operates from Terminal 3 at Guarulhos. Gol uses Terminal 2. Azul operates from Terminal 2 as well. The two terminals are connected by a free shuttle and an airside connector for passengers who need to transfer. Confins airport (Tancredo Neves International) has a single terminal building. Verify at check-in which GRU terminal applies to your carrier, as domestic assignments at GRU can shift seasonally.
Yes, and this is an important distinction. São Paulo Congonhas (CGH) is a second São Paulo airport much closer to the city center and also operates flights to Belo Horizonte. Both Confins (CNF) and Pampulha (PLU, the closer-in BH airport). If your origin is central São Paulo, checking CGH departures alongside GRU is worthwhile. GRU and CGH are 90 minutes apart by road during peak traffic, so they are not interchangeable without planning.
Confins sits about 40 km north of Belo Horizonte's center. The MOVE bus rapid transit system has a route connecting the airport to the Barreiro terminal for onward connections, but for central BH the Expresso Confins bus or taxi/rideshare is more direct. Travel time to the Savassi or Centro areas runs 50–70 minutes depending on traffic. The older Pampulha airport (PLU) is much closer to the city but handles fewer routes.
São Paulo Guarulhos to Belo Horizonte Confins: Brazil's Southeast Business Spine
GRU–CNF connects Brazil's largest city and international gateway to the capital of Minas Gerais, one of Brazil's most economically significant states. LATAM, Gol, and Azul all operate nonstop service, with block time around 55 minutes. The route carries a mix of corporate travel driven by the mining, steel, and energy sectors headquartered in Belo Horizonte, and connecting traffic using GRU as an international gateway. The corridor is separate from the parallel market between CGH and PLU. Passengers in central São Paulo often prefer Congonhas's city-center location regardless of the route.
Belo Horizonte Confins Airport Context
Tancredo Neves International at Confins replaced Pampulha as BH's primary airport for larger aircraft operations. The terminal was expanded in the 2010s and handles both domestic and international routes. International frequency from CNF is limited. Most long-haul traffic from Belo Horizonte connects through GRU or BSB. The airport's single terminal simplifies navigation. Ground connection to the city remains a weak point in the passenger experience, with no metro or commuter rail link to central BH as of 2025.
