Federal prosecutors filed a motion to halt operations at Congonhas airport one day after the TAM Airlines jet flew off a runway and burst into flames. Prosecutors asked a judge to suspend flights until aviation officials can ensure that it is safe to continue operations at the airport, in the heart of Brazil's largest city, Sao Paulo. Jose Carlos Pereira, the president of Brazil's aviation authority, Infraero, said halting flights at the nation's busiest airport would be an excessive and radical measure. He said any suspension would affect the 20 million passengers who use that airport, and said it could trigger chaos in the airline industry. Flights resumed at Congonhas airport early Wednesday, but aviation officials say the runway involved in the crash will remain closed until an investigation is complete. TAM airline executives said the Airbus 320 aircraft was in perfect condition and the pilots were experienced. Recovery efforts were continuing at the site where the plane left the runway, crossed a busy city street and crashed into a cargo terminal and gas station.
就在一架ATM航空公司的飞机冲出跑道，引起大火的事件发生一天后，联邦检查官发起一项暂停Congonhas机场运营的提议。检查官们要求法官暂停机场所有航班的起降直到航空部门的官员能够保证这一位于巴西中心最大城市圣保罗的机场可以继续安全运营为止。巴西民航权威机构Infraero公司的主席Jose Carlos Pereira称让这个国家最大的机场里的所有航班停运的提议是过分而且激进的。他说任何航班的停运都会影响到2000万使用这一机场的乘客的切身利益，而且还可能引发航空业的混乱。星期3早些时候，Congonhas机场的航班仍在正常起降，但是航空部门的官员称跟飞机爆炸事件有关的跑道将继续关闭直到调查结果浮出水面。TAM航空公司的执行总裁称空中客车320型飞机但是处在最佳的工作状态而且机上的飞行员都是很有经验的。飞机爆炸引起的恢复重建工作仍在继续，该飞机当时偏离了跑道，穿过一条喧闹的城市街道，撞上了一座货物中转站兼加油站。
