Prosecutors investigating the cause of “this week’s Brazilian airline tragedy, sought a court order to shut down the nation’s busiest airport until the cause of the incident could be determined. Such of a move would certainly impact air travel not just in Brazil but in South America.
“It is necessary to temporarily paralyze the activities at the Congonhas airport in Sao Paulo until a complete renovation of both of its runways can be completed and there is certainty that they are fully secure,” prosecutors said in a statement.
The runways in the airport are shorter than most other international airport runways by at least 1,000 or so feet. Additionally there were concerns prior to the crash that wet runways posed a serious problem.
