São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport

Guarulhos airport is about 25 km (16 mi) northeast of downtown São Paulo. Uber gives an average trip of about 46 minutes to central São Paulo, but rush-hour traffic on the highways into the city can make the trip much longer. The train and people mover avoid road traffic but require a change for most central areas.

No. GRU is in the neighboring city of Guarulhos, in the Cumbica district, which is why it is also called Cumbica airport. It is part of greater São Paulo and serves as the city's main international airport, while Congonhas Airport, inside São Paulo itself, handles domestic flights only.

GRU has three passenger terminals. Terminal 1 is the smallest and handles domestic flights only. Terminal 2 is the largest, with most domestic flights and some international ones. Terminal 3 handles international flights only. Terminals 2 and 3 are connected on foot, while Terminal 1 stands apart and is reached by people mover or shuttle bus.

Azul domestic flights use Terminal 1. GOL and LATAM domestic flights use Terminal 2, along with international flights from airlines such as Aerolíneas Argentinas, Avianca, Ethiopian and Sky. Terminal 3 serves long-haul and LATAM international flights, plus airlines such as American, Delta, United, Emirates and TAP. The airport assigns flights daily, so confirm with your airline.

The free GRU Airport People Mover links Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and the train station, and it runs from 4:00 a.m. to midnight. Free shuttle buses also run between the terminals. Terminals 2 and 3 are connected by a walkway in the public area, a walk of about 15 minutes.

Yes. Guarucoop is the official airport taxi cooperative, with counters in all terminals and fixed fares set by the Municipality of Guarulhos. You can also book a Guarucoop car in advance through its app or by phone. Avoid people offering rides inside the arrivals hall and use the official counters instead.

Yes. CPTM Line 13-Jade runs from Aeroporto-Guarulhos station to Engenheiro Goulart, where you change trains for central São Paulo. The Airport Express service runs hourly directly to Luz and Palmeiras-Barra Funda stations. The free people mover connects the station with all three terminals.

Yes. Uber and 99 both operate at GRU, and drivers pick up at the curb of the terminal you select in the app. Uber lists an average trip of about 46 minutes to central São Paulo. Fares rise when demand is high, so compare with an official Guarucoop taxi if the app price looks high.

Yes. Airport Bus Service coaches leave from Terminals 2 and 3 on a circuit that stops at hotels along Avenida Paulista and in República. Other routes go to Congonhas Airport and the Tietê and Barra Funda bus terminals. Tickets for the Paulista circuit can be bought from the driver when boarding.

It depends on your passport. Citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia have needed a Brazilian e-visa since April 10, 2025, applied for online before travel through the official VFS Global portal. Many other nationalities, including most Europeans, can enter visa-free for tourism. Check the current rules for your nationality before you fly.

Airport Bus Service runs a route from Terminals 2 and 3 of GRU to Congonhas Airport, which handles domestic flights inside São Paulo. A taxi or rideshare is the other direct option. Allow plenty of time, because the trip crosses the city and road traffic in São Paulo can be heavy at peak hours.

São Paulo uses Brasília time, UTC-3, all year, because Brazil does not observe daylight saving time. The currency is the Brazilian real (BRL), and cards are widely accepted. Summers from December to March are warm and often rainy, while winters from June to August are mild and drier.

GRU is run under a concession by the GRU Airport company, led by Invepar with Airports Company South Africa, while Infraero holds 49%. The airport handled 47.2 million passengers in 2025, which makes it the busiest airport in Brazil. It opened on January 20, 1985.
