Located 14 kilometers from downtown Campinas and 99 kilometers from the city of São Paulo, Viracopos International Airport can be reached by three highways: Santos Dumont, Bandeirantes and Anhanguera.

The city of Campinas is one of Brazil¿s leaders in technology. Besides excellent highway connections, it is the location of major universities and many high-tech companies. Because of this, the airport today is one of Infraero¿s highest priorities to receive investments.

The old ¿landing field¿ as it was called has become one of the main connection points in Latin America. The air cargo import/export terminal has an area of over 81 thousand square meters.

The airport began to awaken in the international air cargo segment in the 1990s and today this is its leading activity.

Since 1995, Infraero has been investing to implement the first phase of the airport¿s master plan, making major improvements to the cargo and passenger terminals.

The second phase of the passenger terminal expansion project will be ready in early 2005. The first phase was completed in the first half of 2004, when the airport received new departure and arrival lounges, public areas and commercial concessions.
