Petrolina International Airport (SBPL), managed by CCR Aeroportos, is a vital logistical hub in Pernambuco, handling both domestic passenger routes and intensive international cargo flights for fruit exports. Because heavy aircraft operate at low altitudes over the surrounding agricultural zones and urban fringes during takeoff and landing, uncoordinated drone activity poses a severe hazard. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter or its active approach corridors are completely banned under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).

Regulatory Authorities: DECEA, ANAC, and CCR Aeroportos.

Primary Framework: ICA 100-40 (DECEA) and Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code.

Flight Planning Portal: Operational restrictions and active safety grids are managed via SARPAS NG and Aisweb.
