Located 99km north of São Paulo, the airport serves as the hub for Azul Brazilian Airlines, and is currently undergoing an expansion process in order to become the largest airport in South America.
As part of the expansion plan, the existing passenger terminal is being renovated and a new terminal is being established, which will result in a doubling of capacity for cargo and passenger traffic in preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympic games.
