Broadreach, your comments are a clear reflection of the public view in Brazil, and fully illustrate the way things are here.

The measures announced are nothing more than window dressing, and will never come to fruition. Gilberto Kassab's (the mayor of Sao Paulo) ideas are much more realistic. Essentially, compulsory purchase of land at the end of the strip, extensions to both runways and escape areas. Unfortunately the political interests at national level will prevent this ever happening.
