Telesp Heliport

Economic and operational restructuring. The heliport was closed voluntarily by its new owners. The official record from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) states it was 'Excluído a pedido' ('Deleted upon request'). This indicates a business decision to eliminate the high costs associated with maintaining and operating a private corporate heliport, which was likely deemed a non-essential asset after the company's privatization.

The heliport is permanently closed and inactive. The building at the location is a major operational and administrative center for Vivo (Telefônica Brasil). Satellite imagery shows the helipad markings (a circled 'H') are still visible on the rooftop but are significantly faded, indicating years of disuse. The site is not used for any aviation purposes.

The facility, officially designated SJTC (not BR-2023, which is a non-standard identifier), was the private corporate heliport for TELESP - Telecomunicações de São Paulo S/A, the state-owned telecommunications company for São Paulo. Located atop their major administrative building, its primary function was executive transport. In a city famed for its traffic congestion, the heliport was a symbol of corporate prestige and a practical tool for ensuring swift mobility for directors and key personnel. It handled a fleet of light helicopters typical for corporate use, contributing to São Paulo's status as the city with one of the world's largest helicopter fleets.

There are no known plans or public prospects for reopening the Telesp Heliport (SJTC). Given that it was closed as a cost-saving measure, and the significant expense required for recertification, maintenance, insurance, and operation, a reopening is considered highly unlikely. The physical infrastructure remains, but it would require a complete overhaul and regulatory approval from ANAC to become operational again.
