Considered as Brazil’s motor, São Paulo’s metropolitan area is home to almost 20 million
people. This sole number propels the city to the second most sought-after private jet
destination in the country, although boosted by business purposes instead of leisure.

For private jet flights, it is considered the main connecting hub in Brazil and, worldwide, it
has the largest helicopter fleet with more than 500. This high demand is a result of the chaotic
24/7 traffic.
