Runway Reduction Allows For Runout Areas
Two months after the fiery crash of a TAM Airlines A320 on landing at
Congonhas Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the airline
said Thursday recent changes announced by Brazil's Minister of
Defense, Nelson Jobim, concerning runway reductions at Congonhas by
300 meters to establish runout areas will not have much effect on
the airline's operations at the airport.
