Drone Rules for Aeroporto Regional de Maringá - Silvio Name Júnior
Critical No-Fly Zone covering Maringá Regional Airport (SBMG) and its surrounding commercial approach corridors. All unauthorized drone flights are strictly prohibited within this airspace to eliminate the risk of mid-air collisions with passenger airliners and international cargo flights.
Maringá Regional Airport – Sílvio Name Júnior (SBMG), operated by Terminais Aéreos de Maringá, is a vital economic and logistical hub in northern Paraná. In addition to handling a high volume of daily domestic passenger flights from major commercial airlines, the airport is certified for international cargo transport and features highly modernized air traffic control infrastructure.
Because passenger jets and heavy logistics aircraft operate at low altitudes during their takeoff and landing phases over the western outskirts of Maringá, uncoordinated drone activity poses an immediate threat to aviation safety. There is zero tolerance for unapproved flights inside the airport's grid or its active approach funnels. Flying a drone in this restricted perimeter without authorization is a federal security breach 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 SBMG S/A.
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.
