Base Aérea de São Paulo – BASP is a base of the Brazilian Air Force, located in Guarulhos, Brazil.
It shares some facilities with Gov. André Franco Montoro International Airport.
São Paulo Air Force Base was created on 22 May 1941 by Decree 3,302 at Campo de Marte Airport. On 26 January 1945 the base was transferred to its present location, then called Cumbica Farm.[2]
Since January 2017 there are no permanent flying units assigned to São Paulo Air Force Base. Whenever needed, the aerodrome is used as a support facility to other air units of the Brazilian Air Force, Navy and Army.
