Passengers sweltered Friday without air conditioning in parts of Rio de Janeiro's Antonio Carlos Jobim international airport with temperatures outside hovering around 40C (104F). Brazil's shoddy airports are a major worry heading into the World Cup in just over five months with many overhauls delayed or scrapped. About 500,000 foreign visitors are expected, stretching airport capacity at 12 venues across the continent-size country."It's clear that on a day like today, when the heat index is 50 degrees Celsius (122F), that it's impossible to keep the heat out," said the Infraero spokeswoman, who was interviewed on condition of anonymity under department policy.
