This is an X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 10 scenery package for São Paulo Guarulhos Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (IATA: GRU, ICAO: SBGR), popularly known locally as Cumbica Airport after the district where it is located and the Brazilian Air Force base that still exists at the airport complex, is the main international airport serving São Paulo, Brazil. It is located in the municipality of Guarulhos in Greater São Paulo. Since November 28, 2001 the airport has been named after André Franco Montoro (1916–1999), former Governor of São Paulo state. The airport was rebranded as GRU Airport in 2012.
It includes corrected aprons, ramps, taxiways, the new terminal 3 (from 2014), and lighting system, representing the airport layout as of 2017. XP11 only: It also has ground services enabled (like push back).
Since 2012, the airport has been operated by a consortium (GRU Airport) composed of Invepar S/A, Airports Company South Africa, and Infraero. Some of its facilities are shared with the São Paulo Air Force Base of the Brazilian Air Force. On June 6, 1967, in response to the growth of the air traffic in Brazil, the Brazilian military government initiated studies concerning the renovation of the airport infrastructure in Brazil. As part of the conclusions of these studies, because of their location, strategic importance, and security issues, new passenger facilities would be constructed in the areas of Galeão Air Force Base in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo Air Force Base in São Paulo. In relation to São Paulo, the initial planning of the airport involved three runways and four passenger terminals. However, the first phase of the construction comprising two runways and two terminals started only on August 11, 1980. The airport was officially inaugurated on January 20, 1985. Quickly Guarulhos became the city's primary airport, supplanting São Paulo–Congonhas Airport.
This scenery was tested and is operational (as of May 05, 2017) in "X-Plane 11.0 RC1", Windows 10 Home. It was also tested and is also operational (as of May 05, 2017) in "X-Plane 10.51 64 bit", Windows 10 Home.
