Located in the Metropolitan area of São Paulo, Guarulhos (GRU) Airport is the largest industrial and commercial center of the country. The city of Guarulhos – a 3-million inhabitant city with the largest warehouse area in Brazil and an expressive industrial park and privileged location for multimodal logistics solutions – is only 20 km away from São Paulo city center. GRU Cargo Complex is the largest airport logistics complex in Latin America playing a central role in Brazilian logistics.
The airport cargo facilities sum 145.000 m² warehouse areas (99.000 m² of which are directly operated by GRU) handling products from various industries including pharmaceutical, electronics, textile, food & beverage, automotive and machinery parts and perishables. The pharma industry is the strongest segment at GRU processing over 60% of the Brazilian market, supported by a 24/7 dedicated staff, 30.000 m3 temperature-controlled areas and 24 cold chambers ranging from -18º to 25º. In the last 2 years, GRU played a central role on the vaccine logistics.
The airport operates on average more than 700 daily flights with connecting 54 international city destinations, 30 countries, and a total of 55 domestic destinations including all capitals and major Brazilian cities. Furthermore, the location in Guarulhos gives an easy access to the major highways which connect the airport to the rest of the country. The offer of daily regular flights (domestic and international) also ensures greater capacity and efficiency in freight transportation.
