Congonhas Airport's New Terminal Due to Finish in June 2028
Aena is doubling the boarding and arrivals area to 105,000 square metres and replacing the airport's 12 airbridges with 19, so that 70 per cent of boardings are direct to the aircraft. A new 215,000-square-metre apron takes commercial aircraft stands from 30 to 37 and lifts capacity to 29.5 million passengers a year; work began in 2024.
- "Work on the new São Paulo terminal will begin in 2024 and is scheduled for completion in June 2028" - the date the pin carries[1]
- Aena presented the project to expand and modernise Congonhas Airport, "the second busiest airport in the country", and "will invest over BRL 2 billion in this infrastructure over the next few years", including a new passenger terminal that will double the size of the current one[1]
- The expansion "will increase the airport's capacity to 29.5 million passengers per year"[1]
- The boarding and arrivals area "will double in size to 105,000 square metres"; the departures terminal gains a new check-in hall and 19 new boarding bridges replacing the current 12, "allowing 70% of boardings to be direct to the aircraft"[1]
- A new 215,000 square metre commercial aviation apron is built and aircraft parking areas increase from 30 to 37, with structural reinforcement of the existing runways and aprons, new taxiways, a new general aviation service road and a fast runway exit[1]
- Around 20,000 m² goes to commercial premises and other services, plus new VIP lounges, offices and business lounges, and the project "includes the preservation, revitalisation and integration of the areas listed as Historical Heritage"[1]
- Sustainability works include a new electrical substation "which will allow the use of clean energy", a solid waste collection point, a water treatment station, more natural lighting and a more efficient air-conditioning system[1]
- Congonhas sits inside a larger programme: Aena's total investment in the Block of Eleven Brazilian Airports (BOAB) "will amount to BRL 4.5 billion", and Aena operates 20% of Brazil's air traffic, managing 17 airports under the Aena Brazil brand[1]
- Chairman Maurici Lucena called the project "Aena's most important in the international area and whose scope and great technical complexity mean that it is only within the reach of a few airport companies in the world"[1]
