The Professor José Gonçalves dos Santos Civil Metropolitan Airport, located in the Vicente de Carvalho district of Guarujá, São Paulo, is a strategic infrastructure asset built directly within the shared perimeter of the historical Santos Air Force Base (BAST). While evolving into a crucial civil regional hub serving the entire Baixada Santista metropolitan area, the location maintains military airspace security standards.

Because the runway is situated immediately adjacent to the high-density Port of Santos shipping channels and industrial centers, the local airspace is highly complex. Incoming and departing aircraft, along with active search-and-rescue or maritime surveillance helicopters, execute low-altitude maneuvers directly over the surrounding coastal, urban, and transit pathways. Any uncoordinated drone activity in these strict operational sectors poses an immediate, catastrophic threat to human life and aviation security. Spontaneous or recreational drone flights within the airfield perimeter, its obstacle limitation surfaces, or its designated defense corridors are completely prohibited under federal law (Brazilian Penal Code, Art. 261).{
