Brasilia International Airport
Brasilia, Brazil

I travelled from Brasilia to Sao Paulo on the 19 April 2014, and then on to Frankfurt. I had the opportunity to see your very newly opened passenger terminal. I was very impressed with its design,its views and open light appearance. I was however a little surprised at what I consider some constructional defects. The mounting bolts for the flanges of white support posts for the windows and roof (particularly on the left side,towards the middle of the building)seem to have been sunk too deep into the concrete base and are thus very short. Some of the securing nuts are only secured by a few threads, and lack any sort of lock nuts or washers as there is no room to fully screw them home. I think this could represent a possible weakness in the building, and should be checked.
