Campo de Marte

From Freepedia

Campo de Marte Fields (see Campus Martius) was São Paulo's first airport, opened in 1919. To fulfill the unexpectedly growing demands, it was supplemented by Congonhas Domestic Airport. Currently, it is administered by Infraero.

Campo de Marte Fields is 6 km north from the city's downtown. Handling more than 82,000 take-offs and landings in 2003, the airport was the 5th busiest Brazilian airport that year, by number of operations.

With a runway 1400x30 m, it caters only to only training flights, helicopters and regional, non-regular flights. It does not operate at night.
