CGH Sao Paulo

How deep the CGH board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CGH. This reads the same 42 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 16of the 42 destinations are flown by one airline
• 10destinations run less than once a day
• 18destinations have four or more departures a day
• 88.1%of the destinations name Gol, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CGH

Four airlines appear on the CGH board and they do not hold it evenly. Gol is on 37 of the 42 destinations, 88.1 per cent of them, and on 12 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 234.1 of the 268.5 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is LATAM Brasil on 28 destinations. 0 of the 4 airlines at CGH appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 37 of the 42 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a CGH sector is usually another Gol aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at CGH than the destination count does.

How much of the CGH board is daily

Of the 42 destinations, 32 are flown at least once a day and 10 are not, 3 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CGH board is flown 3.7 times a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: CGH to São Carlos (QSC) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 128.1 of the 268.5 departures a day, 47.7 per cent of the whole board. The other 37 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at CGH usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of CGH where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from CGH

The desk holds the return direction for 6 of the 42 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On five of them the return into CGH runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Fortaleza (FOR) at 5.9 out a day against 0.29 back, Brasília (BSB) at 25.3 out a day against 4 back and Curitiba (CWB) at 20.3 out a day against 4.1 back.

A return leg thinner than the outbound is the ordinary reason a same day round trip out of CGH turns into an overnight, and it is worth checking on each of those 5 sectors before the courier is committed rather than after.

The clock at CGH

CGH keeps America/Sao_Paulo time, seven hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 02:00 at CGH, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for two hours. That is a narrow window for a signature, a customs query or an authority to release, and it is the reason a consignment for CGH is briefed the day before rather than on the morning it flies.

Where CGH turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Brazil country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 2 airport pair pages that start or end at CGH, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Sao Paulo to Brasília (BSB) and Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro (GIG).

24 courier postings name CGH as the airport a courier here flies from: Sao Paulo, Campinas and Sorocaba.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CGH already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 42 destinations above.
