Airspace Overview Fortaleza International Airport serves as one of northeastern Brazil's principal aviation hubs and supports significant passenger, cargo, and international flight activity. Frequent aircraft movements within surrounding airspace require careful coordination of nearby drone operations. Regulatory Framework All drone flights must comply with regulations administered by DECEA, ANAC, and ANATEL. These authorities establish operational requirements intended to ensure safe coexistence between drones and conventional aircraft. Flight Authorization Depending on flight location, altitude, and mission profile, authorization through the SARPAS system may be required before operating within controlled airspace sectors. Geofencing Controls Drone manufacturers frequently designate airport environments as protected operational areas. As a result, pilots may encounter flight notifications, altitude restrictions, or unlock requirements depending on the drone platform used. Legal Penalties Unauthorized drone activity that violates aviation regulations or interferes with aircraft operations may result in fines, equipment seizure, administrative sanctions, or legal proceedings.
