The heliport is not closed. The identifier 'BR-2021' appears in non-official, outdated databases where it is incorrectly listed as closed. The official, operational heliport is designated SJSL and remains active.
Not applicable. The heliport remains operational. The 'closed' status associated with the non-official code BR-2021 is erroneous.
The site is an active, private heliport (heliponto) located on the rooftop of the Hospital Sírio-Libanês's main building. Its official ICAO identifier is SJSL. It is fully licensed and regulated by Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Operations are restricted to hospital-related activities, primarily for emergency helicopter services transporting patients and medical supplies.
The heliport is critically important for the Hospital Sírio-Libanês, one of Latin America's most prestigious medical centers. Since its inception, it has been used for life-saving operations, including Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC) flights, urgent transport of critically ill patients, and rapid transit of organs for transplantation. Its location in the dense urban center of São Paulo makes it an essential asset for bypassing traffic in time-sensitive medical emergencies. It frequently serves high-profile patients, including national and international dignitaries, enhancing the hospital's reputation for comprehensive, high-level care.
Not applicable, as the heliport was never closed and is currently in full operation.
