GRU Airport

GRU Airport is the designated concessionaire responsible for the operation, expansion, and maintenance of São Paulo/Guarulhos–Governor André Franco Montoro International Airport. As the primary international gateway to South America, the organisation functions as a critical hub in the global aviation value chain, facilitating long-haul passenger transit and significant air cargo volumes. It manages the ground infrastructure required for airline operations, including terminal management, runway maintenance, and security protocols. The organisation serves a diverse range of international and domestic carriers, including LATAM Airlines, Gol Linhas Aéreas, and Azul Brazilian Airlines. It operates under a concession agreement overseen by the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) and maintains strategic partnerships for ground handling, fuel supply, and logistics. The airport acts as the main base for international connectivity in Brazil, supporting wide-body operations for major global airlines from Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Prospective partners or service providers should verify the current status of the concession contract and specific regulatory compliance requirements under Brazilian aviation law. Technical assessments should focus on the airport's master plan for terminal upgrades and cargo capacity expansions. Due diligence must include a review of the operational constraints related to slots and the specific environmental standards mandated for the Guarulhos metropolitan area.
