I'm with you on this one. I predict the aircraft would've overrun even with a runway length of 2400 meters. And at Congonhas with that cliff to fall off of, this is still not a good thing. And one can only hope the little Runway End Zone available would be able to contain the overrun. Otherwise, some deaths and/or major injuries would still have to be expected if it falls off onto the freeway below.

No, the aircraft should not have been dispatched to Congonhas under those conditions of course.

Congonhas should have EMAS and strict flight guidelines for A320/737 operations IMHO.
