Talk:São Paulo–Congonhas Airport

message: It's not an international airport. It's a domestic one. 201.26.87.207 23:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The definition is used very loosely, and it generally applies to any airport that has the capability of customs and immigration clearing. Congonhas has that ability (Federal Police and Customs on the premises), but no international flights fly out of it. So if, for example, you're flying  in on a private jet from abroad, you could in theory make Congonhas your port-of-entry.Dali-Llama 04:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It may be undue weight to put one incident (even a recent one) on the page for the airport. JFK's page does, as does London Heathrow Airport, but if we're going to start, let's make sure we document ALL of them and put them in a historical manner, NOT a current events approach. See those pages for examples.--Dali-Llama 01:54, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please, give us some time to evaluate situation - this is not right time to do harsh deletionist moves to enforce your specific wikipedian attitude.....there should be some voting before such important move. Thank you for your patience and generosity. --Bluewind 02:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  And by the way it would be bigger challenge to change that policy with accidents on Heathrow, JFK or any other bigger airport articles rather than on this tiny little airport....go there and persuade them in discussion...and when you win their support come back here and delete the same things as you were allowed to do in Heathrow or JFK. Thank you very much. --Bluewind 02:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Dalillama about listing the accidents and incidents as a whole. Those improvements have been made (thank you) and are very good. But please, don't lose sight of the fact that 200 people died! Your arguments over format look petty and childish in light of that. Wikipedia is not top priority here, so relax a bit.

replies: text: "Wikipedia is not top priority here"? I don't know if you misspoke, but we're IN Wikipedia. Other projects have other policies and have different goals. Wikinews has an article on this and their policies are different--they're a repository for news. We're an encyclopedia, and we need a few rules (as few as possible) to make it one. Why does the fact that 200 people died make a difference in how we write an encyclopedia? I don't think it does. We don't bend or break rules for individual incidents. And trust me, I'm not losing sight of the fact that nearly 200 people died a horrible death landing on an airport I've used dozens of times and crashed into a building I've been in myself a couple of times. Pretty hard to do that. Bottom line, we want everyone to contribute, but we have norms to make sure that this becomes a useful and relevant source for encyclopedic knowledge, not a hodgepodge of data.--Dali-Llama 17:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia vs. 200 dead? Even on Wikipedia, the fact that 200 are dead is more important than a website. As I said, your original point was correct but it devolved into a turf war -- one that looked petty in light of 200 deaths. It was SO petty that I felt the need to address it. You and Bluewind were arguing with each other, and now you want to argue with me. Silly, cuz the article looks good. Indeed, I came here for some good info and got it. Great job! That's my last word. Have a great day. Goeverywhere 02:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't see Wikipedia as place for futurology. If somebody sais it will build a new airport 1) it's not part of airport's history 2) It doesn't happenned, so it can be placed in an Encyclopedia. 201.1.181.100 (talk) 03:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In case such plan(s) were mentioned by someone influential and implementation seemed relatively realistic, it would seem important to me to describe any such plan(s) on this page. I believe that under those circumstances a description of it would also appear in an old-fashioned paper edition encyclopedia, including at least one valid reference of course.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Infraero logo.png

message: The mention to former Boeing 767 operations at Congonhas Airport by Transbrasil has been repeatedly deleted and reintroduced. For once and for all: Transbrasil's first Boeing 767-200 was actually received at a ceremony at Congonhas. Not only that, in the 1980s Transbrasil operated frequent charter flights from Orlando, Florida nonstop to Congonhas using the 767, in what were the only nonstop long-haul flights to the airport ever (in the other direction, Congonhas' short runways did not allow a 767 takeoff with full fuel tanks for a nonstop flight to the U.S., so the plane stopped in Rio de Janeiro first for refueling). Transbrasil also operated regular shorter-haul domestic flights to Congonhas using the 767.
For those who can read Portuguese, on the talk page of Jetsite, a prestigious Brazilian web site about aviation, the site's owner, Gianfranco Beting, answers a visitor's question attesting that indeed Transbrasil operated the 767 at Congonhas, and testifies that he even was in one of the Orlando-Congonhas nonstop flights. He should know: Beting was an executive with Transbrasil for many years. I was unable to locate a story I remember having seen on that site, also by Beting, mentioning that the plane was so big for the airport's old and modest facilities that it had to use the auxiliary apron so as not to clutter and obstruct the main one. On the same talk page, there are other visitors' comments mentioning being on 767 flights to Congonhas. On YouTube there is also a video of the first 767 landing at Congonhas. I have added both pages as references, hoping to end this little edit war.
I also know of at least one Douglas DC-8 operation at Congonhas. The DC-8 is not a widebody jet, but it is a long-haul four-engine jet normally not allowed to land on Congonhas' short runways. The instance I know of was a millionaire's private jet which was very light, with very little payload and fuel in the tanks, so the landing was exceptionally authorized because the Brazilian government was interested in doing business with the owner. I did not add the mention to it because I could not find any references to substantiate it.
