São José dos Campos-Professor Urbano Ernesto Stumpf Airport (IATA: SJK, ICAO: SBSJ), is the airport serving São José dos Campos, Brazil. It is named after Urbano Ernesto Stumpf (1916–1998), colonel-aviator, Aerospace Engineer, professor at several universities and inventor of the motor that runs on ethanol fuel.
Operated by Infraero, the airport shares some facilities with the Brazilian General Command for Aerospace Technology (Portuguese: Comando-Geral de Tecnologia Aeroespacial – CTA), Embraer and the flying club of São José dos Campos.
Built in the 1950s basically to serve CTA, the airport originally had only a dirt runway. In the 1970s, the runway was paved with asphalt and lengthened to 3,000 meters. The airport was also equipped to handle instrument landings and an apron that is able to accommodate large cargo aircraft.
It has been certified for international cargo flights since 2000. Treatment of cargo, as well as fees for warehousing and handling, are similar to those of other Infraero freight terminals. However some discounts are applied seeking to reduce costs and streamline the clearance process, an important factor for local industries.
The passenger terminal has a capacity for 90,000/year and is served by a snack bar, taxis and public telephones.
Currently no scheduled flights operate at this airport.
The airport is located 12 km (7 mi) from downtown São José dos Campos.
