Universal Aviation—the ground handling arm of Universal Weather & Aviation—has extended its ground handling supervision to Brazil’s São Paulo Caterina Executive Airport (SBJH). Located in São Roque, 40 minutes west of the capital city, SBJH is considered one of the country’s most modern airports with an 8,100-foot (2,470 m) runway and the ability to handle up to 200,000 passengers a year.
