Viracopos International Airport in Campinas is today Brazil's leading logistics hub. Far more than just a passenger departure and arrival point, Viracopos is currently South America's largest air cargo center.
Located 17 kilometers from downtown Campinas and 95 kilometers from downtown São Paulo, Viracopos' cargo terminal encompasses an area of 81,000 m² and accounts for approximately 18% of total cargo movement recorded at Brazilian airports.
Moreover, Viracopos Cargo Terminal is among the most modern in Latin America, standing out for excellence in the so-called "cold chain," essential for the transport of pharmaceutical inputs and vaccines, a sector in which the airport is the absolute leader. The airport complex was the first in Latin America to receive IATA's CEIV Pharma international certification (International Air Transport Association), a rigorous seal that attests to excellence in cold chain management.
The efficiency of the cargo terminal's operations attracts the leading global cargo carriers, creating routes that connect Campinas directly to the Americas, Europe, and Asia. This air connectivity is amplified by the fact that Viracopos is positioned between highways such as Bandeirantes, Anhanguera, and Dom Pedro I, which enable cargo unloaded to be dispatched in just a few hours to both the Port of Santos and the major distribution centers of the Southeast and South.
This performance is also the result of integration between airport administration, the Brazilian Federal Revenue, and regulatory agencies such as ANVISA, which ensures that the time for cargo clearance is significantly lower than the national average.
By handling approximately one-third of all air cargo imported by Brazil, Viracopos ensures that the most diverse types of cargo reach their final destination without interruption, consolidating itself as Latin America's most vital and dynamic logistics hub.
