During years, Confins was empty 'cause all the flights just operated at Pampulha's domestic airport. Pampulha is a small airport, but the flights were there 'cause is close to BH downtown (just 10 km) and Confins was empty 'cause was too far from the downtown. Actually Confins is situated 40 km from BH. In 2007 the State of Minas built the Linha Verde, a express highway to connect the downtown to Confins and they transfered all the flights from Pampulha to Confins Int'l. Until last year, Pampulha just operated regional flights to the inland the State, now, Pampulha will be remodeled to expand the capacity to receive flights from Brasília, Rio and São Paulo, and also will keep the regional flights. And Confins will keep operating the international flights and also the intracontinetal flights (to the northeast, north, centralwest and south).
