Catarina Executive Airport in São Paulo will open for operation the second half of this year, concluding a saga that demanded massive capital investment during a recession that battered both the country and developer JHSF, which is well known for its luxury shopping malls and residential and commercial developments. While Catarina has suffered delays—the original schedule anticipated receiving visitors for the 2014 World Cup—and the project has been trimmed back, the principal runway will be inaugurated at its initially projected 2,470 meters (8,104 feet), permitting jets with intercontinental range to take off fully fueled, to reach London, New York, or Paris.
