Abstract
An airside compatibility analysis of the São Paulo/Guarulhos Airport regarding the operation of A380-800 and B747-8 aircraft is presented. The analysis is based upon ICAO and FAA design standards and their possible flexibilizations. Needs for airside infrastructure intervention are pointed out, along with flexibilizations that could alleviate those needs. Some design criteria such as jet blast, fillet dimensions and curve radii are addressed by means of a comparative approach, considering the new aircraft and others currently under operation at the aerodrome.
