Cyclone derruba centenas de voos em SP agora
The city of São Paulo still faces problems caused by an extratropical cyclone that hit the region on Wednesday. Strong winds, which exceeded 90 km/h, led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights at several airports in the city, including Congonhas, Guarulhos, and Viracopos. At Congonhas Airport, 117 flights were canceled or rescheduled until Thursday evening, while at Guarulhos, 72 flights were suspended and 28 were diverted to other airports. Passengers report difficulties in rescheduling trips, lack of clear guidance, and full hotels.
Congonhas Airport was one of the most affected, with 66 arrivals and 51 departures canceled. Passengers whose flights were canceled faced long lines, and many of them are sleeping at the airport waiting for a new flight option. The situation is even more difficult for those who need to reschedule their trips urgently. Jesuina Marques de Oliveira, a passenger, had her flight canceled and reported that her family went without eating after the cancellation. Pilot Alberto Barbosa, who came to São Paulo for training, had his flight canceled and faced difficulties finding a new flight.
According to data, the extratropical cyclone caused significant damage in the city of São Paulo, leading to a series of flight cancellations. Viracopos International Airport in Campinas was also affected, with 22 cancellations. Airport operations are trying to reorganize after severe weather conditions, but the situation remains difficult for passengers. Many are facing problems finding accommodation and food.
There is still no forecast for when the situation will return to normal, and passengers continue to face challenges caused by the extratropical cyclone and flight cancellations. The air network is being adjusted to minimize impacts, but the situation remains difficult for those who depend on flights to travel.
