Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport Tries to Improve Safety Margins

Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport is a Brazilian airport that is based in Sao Paolo city in the state of Sao Paolo. There are two other airports that also operate in Sao Paolo city as well, but Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport is considered the busiest commercial airport in Brazil as of 2005 (the year when it was able to process 17,500,000 passengers total.) Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport is situated 15.6 miles away from Sao Paolo itself.

Problems afflicting the airport The name of Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport was derived from the name of the plant that used to be quite prevalent in the area where the airport was constructed. This airport now handles short-distance and regional domestic flights only, with some 1000-to-1500-mile flights also added to the mix. The airport has to contend with its long-term problem of congestion since it has to process too many flights and too many passengers. The congestion at Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport led to the construction of the Sao Paolo-Guarulhos International Airport in 1985 so that the latter could absorb some of the flights (including transatlantic routes.) Despite the addition of the newer airport, Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport still has to find a way to relieve more congestion at present.

Another prevalent problem of Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport is that the runways tend to be too slippery for many incoming aircraft. As a result, several accidents have occurred due to water accumulation on the runways - the most recent was in July 2007, involving a TAM Linhas Aereas aircraft (where all 187 passengers and crew died) despite the fact that the main runway underwent repaving that same month prior to the accident. Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport will attempt to make air travel safer for aircraft by offering only regional flights and departures for Rio de Janeiro's Santos Dumont Airport while cutting down on runway slots provided. As a consequence of these new safety policies, landing aircraft will be imposing less gross weight on the runway.

The latest solution to address the problems of Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport is the planned construction of another commercial airport somewhere in Sao Paolo, though the precise location still has to be decided upon. Carriers that serve Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport The airport is presently used as a major hub by the biggest Brazilian carriers, namely, Varig, Gol Transportes Aereos, and TAM Linhas Aereas. Other airlines that use the airport are TRIP Linhas Aereas, Pantanal Linhas Aereas, OceanAir, and BRA Transportes Aereos. Transportation services at the airport Congonhas/Sao Paolo International Airport offers both short-term parking and long-term parking options to passengers. If you want to find appropriate means of transportation to get into Sao Paolo from the airport, you have a choice between bus service, taxi service, or car rental service. The air-conditioned buses will take you to the main hotels serving the airport, stops at the regional Congonhas Airport, and also heads for the town center as well - with fare generally hovering at R$12 per person. You can find the bus stop beside the taxi stands. Before you get on a taxi, you need to secure your fixed-price ticket from one of the Main Hall booths first. Those who use credit cards can pay at the booth while those with cash can just ask for their ticket then pay directly to the taxi driver. Some car rental companies operating at the airport are Localiza and Hertz (among others.)
