Congonhas Airport modernization and regulation
Overview
Congonhas Airport in São Paulo is undergoing a modernization program managed by Aena Brasil, with full delivery projected for June 2028. The project includes a R$ 2.4 billion expansion of the passenger terminal and aircraft apron, which aims to increase boarding bridges from 12 to 19.
Operational developments include testing a new 200,000 square meter apron through night-time simulations to validate ground flows and parking. To support infrastructure management within the airport’s 17-hour daily operating window, the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) has implemented new slot regulations requiring general aviation operators to secure fixed-base service providers.
The expansion works have caused logistical challenges, specifically increased traffic congestion for passengers and drivers. Reports indicate that changes to vehicle flow intended to facilitate construction have led to delays in the Paulo Autran tunnel, with some drivers noting increased travel times during peak hours.
