Guarulhos, Brazil's largest international airport, will, along with airports at Recife, Salvador, Maceió, Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, benefit from a US$1.65 billion upgrade plan that Infraero (the Brazilian airport authority) will carry out between 2003 and 2006.
By the time Infraero's plan to modernise Brazil's airports is complete in 2006, it was hoped that this number will be close to 28.5 million, but since then, the number fell to 11.5 million, being surpassed by Congonhas Domestic Airport as São Paulo's busiest airport, which moved 12.5 million in 2003.
