Viracopos International Airport (SBKP), located in Campinas, São Paulo, is the primary air cargo hub in Brazil and a major domestic passenger airport. The facility handles a constant influx of massive, heavy wide-body cargo aircraft operating at all hours of the day and night.

Because these heavy cargo liners move at high speeds and lower glide slopes during their final approach and departure phases over Campinas and adjacent municipalities, the risk of a drone strike is extremely dangerous. The surrounding airspace is intensely monitored and heavily protected under federal law. Spontaneous, recreational, or standard commercial drone operations are completely banned within the airport's perimeter and its active approach funnels. Violating this airspace carries severe criminal penalties under Article 261 of the Brazilian Penal Code (exposing an aircraft to danger).

Regulatory Authorities: DECEA (Department of Airspace Control) and ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency).

Primary Framework: Brazilian Air Force Command Instruction ICA 100-40 (Access to Airspace by Unmanned Aircraft Systems) and Brazilian Penal Code (Art. 261).

Flight Planning Portal: Real-time restriction parameters, official airport coordinates, and specialized NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) filings are managed via DECEA's SARPAS NG and Aisweb portals.
