Might LABACE Move to Campo de Marte?
Congonhas is cramped though convenient. There are alternatives, with the most obvious being Campo de Marte
Should LABACE need to move, the other airport in Sao Paulo, Campe de Marte, could become the show's host. AIN photo: Chad Trautvetter.

A perennial question at LABACE is where the fair will be held the following year. Federal airport administration company Infraero controls Congonhas, the current site, and each year the norm is for ABAG to finally get a signed contract only a few months before the fair takes place. This year, the wingspan of the ATR exhibited by Star emphasized how cramped the Congonhas space is, when it had to be brought in right through the hangar. So, isn’t there an alternative to Congonhas?
