Embraer Unidade Gavião Peixoto Airport (ICAO: SBGP) is a private airport located near Gavião Peixoto, São Paulo, Brazil. It is owned and operated by Embraer and used for testing civil and military aircraft.
In October 2001 Embraer opened a plant on the Aerodrome of Gavião Peixoto, near Araraquara, to house the final assembly of aircraft and to test equipment and technology. For this purpose, Embraer built runway 02/20 with 4,967 x 45 m, considered to be the longest public use runway in the Americas and the fifth longest in the world. Even so, only 2,975 m are actually used - the rest is taken up by a displaced threshold. Embraer offers customer support for its clientele on the site.
On May 9, 2023, Saab opened an assembly line for the Saab Gripen E at Unidade Gavião Peixoto Airport.[3] It is the first Gripen assembly line outside of Sweden and will produce at least 15 of the Brazilian Air Force's order of 36 aircraft. It is intended that the first aircraft produced on this production line will be delivered in 2025.[4]
