Campo de Marte Airport Airport codes|N/A|SBMT (see Campus Martius) was São Paulo's first airport, situated 6 km north of the city center. It opened in 1919. To fulfill the unexpectedly growing demands, and solve the problem of flooding by nearby Tietê River, VASP airline, once based there, was transferred in 1936 to a new airport constructed by that company at the south end of the city: Congonhas Domestic Airport was initially known as "Campo da VASP" (VASP's field).
