    Please allow me to expand on what my countryman is saying:

    First, R$ 19 Billion is serious investment capital for 25 years. These groups are paying us for management rights: We are not paying them.

    The Second Consortium involving Brasil+Germany+Switzerland has a more proven track record, at least with two successful airports in Europe, which s excellent news for Confins Airport or CNF in Belo Horizonte, MG.

    Galeão, or ( GIG ) in Rio, is another story. GIG is going to be a challenge being a much older airport with space and land limitations as anyone arriving or departing there knows. I try and fly in and out of GRU on domestic and international ( more flights and less delay ) rather than GIG.

    I do however, wish Odebrecht and Changi well, as any improvement will be welcome.

    I am not angry, I am laughing at your continual obsession with videos of the mighty Brasilian armed forces videos and such like. It gives the impression that you are either a young obsessive teenager or a retarded “adult”
