São Paulo Congonhas's 6,365-foot runway is marginal for the Bombardier Global 7500, so it operates weight-limited — reduced fuel or payload, crew-calculated for the day's conditions. Density altitude at 2,631 feet can trim payload on warm days. Final landing performance is calculated by the operating crew for the specific date, weather, and load.
