KMS Heliport

Administrative Re-designation. The heliport was not closed due to economic, safety, or operational reasons. The 'closure' noted in some databases refers to the retirement of the temporary identifier 'BR-1988' and the project name 'KMS Heliport'. This occurred when the facility was formally commissioned and assigned the official ICAO code SJKM as the 'Mercado Livre Heliport' by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC).

The site is an active, fully operational rooftop helipad. It is officially known as **Mercado Livre Heliport (ICAO: SJKM)**. It is located on the roof of the Mercado Livre headquarters at Avenida Tamboré, 1400, in Barueri, São Paulo. The facility is private and used exclusively for corporate helicopter flights.

The designation 'KMS Heliport (BR-1988)' has no significant operational history, as it was likely a temporary name used during the planning and construction phase. The heliport was built between 2014 and 2016 as a key feature of 'Melicidade,' the new Brazilian headquarters for Mercado Livre, Latin America's largest e-commerce and fintech company. From its inception, its sole purpose has been to serve as a private corporate heliport, handling executive and VIP transport to and from this major business center in the São Paulo metropolitan area.

Not applicable. The physical heliport never closed and is currently active. The 'closed' status associated with the BR-1988 identifier is misleading. The facility is operational under its official designation, SJKM, and there are no plans for it to cease operations.
