85% of Brazilian airports on a worrying or critical situation
It is definitely not news, but an official report by Brazilian IPEA reveals that 17 out of the 20 main Brazilian airports are either on a “worrying” or “critical” situation: Maior parte dos aeroportos brasileiros está em situação crítica, diz Ipea. The study quotes the economic growth of the last decade and the lack of investment on the field. And quotes the examples of Guarulhos international airport in São Paulo, operating at 121% of its capacity or Congonhas domestic airport, also in São Paulo, operating at 141% (does anybody recall the promises made after the tragic accident of Tam’s Airbus at Congonhas airport?).
The World Cup is no longer 7 years away. We are in 2012 and few things have changed at the Brazilian airports since the announcement of the world cup was made. A massive lost opportunity is in the making.
