São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) is stored for Sao Paulo, Brazil. ICAO SBGR. Timezone America/Sao_Paulo. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

GRU is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil (BR). The matching ICAO identifier is SBGR. Travel agents see GRU on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example GRULHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO SBGR is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is America/Sao_Paulo. This code page explains how GRU is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Brazil: GIG (Rio de Janeiro), BSB (Brasilia). Related IATA city code in this dataset: SAO. To turn a booked PNR that contains GRU into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 GRULHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read GRU as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If GRU is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
