The São José do Rio Preto State Airport (SBSR), managed by the private concessionaire ASP (Aeroportos Paulistas), is situated right inside the urban perimeter along Avenida dos Estudantes (Vila Aeroporto). It stands out as the busiest regional airport in the State of São Paulo, serving as a critical economic hub that connects the northwest paulista region to major national destinations through high-frequency flights by major airlines, as well as intensive executive and medical transport aviation.

Because the runway is fully embedded within the city fabric, commercial airliners and turbo-props descend and climb at dangerously low altitudes directly over highly populated neighborhoods, major avenues, and educational institutions. This leaves zero margin for airspace interference. Spontaneous, recreational, or standard commercial drone operations are completely banned within the airport's grid, its active approach funnels, and traffic circuits. Violating this airspace 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 ASP (Aeroportos Paulistas).

    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 constraints are hosted on DECEA's official SARPAS NG and Aisweb portals.
