Campo de Marte Airport (Mars Field Airport) (IATA: N/A, ICAO: SBMT) (see Campus Martius) was São Paulo's first airport, situated 6 km north of the city center in Santana district. 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 Airport was initially known as "Campo da VASP" (VASP's field). Currently, Campo de Marte is administered by Infraero.

In 2008, the airport handled 102,088 aircraft movements and 269,498 passengers, placing it 5th busiest airport in Brazil in terms of aircraft movements.

It houses flight schools, helicopters and non-regular flights. It has limited night operations capability, usually reserved to helicopters.
