Brazil Overflight Permits

Introduction to Brazil’s Airspace Regulations

For international operators, Brazil’s expansive airspace—which spans more than 22 million square kilometers—offers both benefits and difficulties.

Brazil’s Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) and Airspace Control Department (DECEA) handle thousands of overflight requests per month, making it the biggest aviation market in South America.

As the most seasoned permission professionals in the area, we at The Network Plan have successfully arranged more than 2,500 Brazil overflight clearances since 2012.
