Sao Paulo is just one big urban mess. I imagine when they first built this airport that it was more than adequate for the planes that flew at the time. But as planes became larger it was no longer very viable. Plus they probably built 3 and 4 story buildings all around the airport in the mean time. But with the main airport Garujus or however it's spelled being so far away from the city center the location of Congolhos becomes very attractive for bussiness travellers. Sad story that should have been avoided.
