Following another morning of confusion due to pilots from TAM and GOL refusing to land at CGH during rain (not for the first time since the accident), the president of TAM has just announced that no aircraft from the company will land when it is raining. This restriction will stay in effect until the grooves are in place on the main runway, and will then be reviewed.
GOL will probably follow suit in the near future, as their pilots also have grave concerns and have also been refusing to land in wet weather.
All this (and the Manaus radar failure) and still the head of INFRAERO insists that Brazil does not need international assistance to evaluate the risks to air transport in this country.
