Ericson do Brasil Heliport

The closure was initiated at the direct request of the heliport's owner, Ericsson Telecomunicações S.A. The official ANAC ordinance states the exclusion was processed 'in response to the request of the interested party.' This indicates the closure was a corporate business decision, likely driven by economic factors, a reduction in the need for executive helicopter transport, or a change in the company's operational logistics. It was not closed due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory enforcement action.

The heliport is permanently closed and is no longer a registered or legal aviation facility. The site itself remains the active Ericsson corporate campus, a major industrial and technological complex. While satellite imagery still shows the faint markings of the helipad (an 'H' within a circle) on the roof of the main building, it is defunct and cannot be used for aircraft operations.

The Ericson do Brasil Heliport, which had the official ICAO-style designator SJEY, was a private, rooftop heliport located at the Ericsson corporate campus in São José Dos Campos. Its sole purpose was to serve the transportation needs of the company. It facilitated rapid and secure travel for executives, high-profile clients, and technicians to and from the facility, bypassing ground traffic from major hubs like São Paulo. Its existence underscored the importance of the São José Dos Campos facility as a major technological, research, and development center for Ericsson in Latin America. The heliport handled private, light-to-medium corporate helicopters.

There are no known public plans or official discussions regarding the reopening of this heliport. Since the closure was a deliberate action taken by Ericsson, any potential reopening would depend entirely on a future change in the company's business strategy and a renewed need for a private heliport at this location. This would require a completely new and rigorous registration and certification process with ANAC. As of now, the prospects for reopening are considered nonexistent.
