Jericoacoara Regional Airport – Comandante Ariston Pessoa (SBJE), located along state highway CE-085 in the neighboring municipality of Cruz, Ceará, is the primary aviation gateway for the globally renowned tourist destination of Jijoca de Jericoacoara. The airport manages regular, high-capacity commercial jet traffic from major national airlines, alongside a steady stream of private charters, executive flights, and utility aircraft that significantly cut travel times down from the state capital, Fortaleza.

Because the airfield sits amidst open coastal plains and rural-urban transit routes, arriving and departing aircraft execute low-altitude instrument (IFR) and visual (VFR) approach corridors directly over surrounding areas. Any uncoordinated drone activity in these landing and takeoff pathways creates an immediate, severe hazard of a mid-air collision with a passenger aircraft. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its active traffic patterns are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).
