Santarém International Airport – Maestro Wilson Fonseca (SBSN), managed by Aena Brasil, is the main aviation hub for western Pará and a critical logistical gateway to the Amazon region. It handles a steady flow of commercial passenger jets connecting to major national capitals, alongside vital regional air taxis, medical evacuation flights, and tourism charters heading to Alter do Chão. Because the runway handles instrument approaches that bring commercial aircraft down at very low altitudes over the surrounding neighborhoods, highways, and the nearby Tapajós and Amazon river transit points, any uncoordinated drone activity creates an immediate and catastrophic risk. There is zero tolerance for unapproved drone flights inside the airport's security perimeter, traffic patterns, or active approach funnels. Flying a drone here without formal clearance is a federal breach of safety and carries severe criminal penalties under the Brazilian Penal Code (Article 261 - exposing an aircraft to danger). Regulatory Authorities: DECEA (Department of Airspace Control), ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency), and Aena Brasil. Primary Framework: Brazilian Air Force Command Instruction ICA 100-40 (Access to Airspace by Unmanned Aircraft Systems) and the Brazilian Penal Code (Art. 261). Flight Planning Portal: Real-time restriction overlays, active safety grids, and mandatory geofencing zones are managed via DECEA's official SARPAS NG and Aisweb portals.
