Location
Guarujá, Brazil
Santos Dumont Air Base, officially known as Santos Nero Moura Air Base, is a Brazilian Air Force (FAB) military installation located in Guarujá, in the state of São Paulo. It operates primarily as a military airfield under the command of the Brazilian Air Force, with limited civilian operations.
The airport carries the IATA code SSZ and ICAO code SBST, placing it within the broader Santos metropolitan area on the southeastern coast of Brazil. Its location near the port city of Santos and the beach resort of Guarujá gives it strategic coastal significance.
