See below the most frequent questions from our clients, as well as from the foreign companies that enter this market:
The first procedures are:
a) Appoint a legal representative;
b) Present the aircraft’s insurance certificate, including liability for damages against third parties on the ground;
c) Flight schedule including the operations’ data;
d) Security Program – PSOA declaration;
e) AOC.
f) If cargo flight: cargo, consignee and consignor data;
g) If passenger flight: no of passengers and aircraft’s capacity;
h) Copy of the Operations Specifications – EO.
After the receipt of the above listed documents and registration into ANAC’s system (we clarify that the registration before ANAC takes approximately 15 working days. It is only necessary prior to the first operation to Brazil or whenever any of the required documents have expired), the flights’ authorization can be obtained in within 12 to 24 hours.
First freedom – the right to flight over a country’s territory without landing – overflight.
Second freedom – the right to land in a country without any commercial purpose – technical landing.
Third freedom – the right to transport passengers, mail and cargo, boarded in the territory of the aircraft’s registration country to the territory of the other contracting country.
Fourth freedom – the right to transport passengers, mail and cargo from one contracting country with destination to the country of the aircraft’s registration.
Fifth freedom – the right to transport passengers, mail and cargo between the territories of one contracting country to the territory of a third country, in the scope of an air service destined or originated to the country of the aircraft’s registration. it is divided into “intermediary fifth freedom” (if the stop in the territory of the third country occurs during the route between one of the countries to the other – intermediary point) and “beyond fifth freedom” (when the stop in the territory of the third country occurs after the stop in the territory of the other contracting country – beyond point).
Sixth freedom – The right to transport passengers, mail and cargo through the territory of the aircraft’s country of registration, between the territories of a third country (point before) to the territory of another contracting country.
Seventh freedom – The right to transport passengers and cargo between the territory of the other contracting country and the territory of the third country, without continuing the air service to the territory of the aircraft’s registration country.
Eighth freedom – The right to transport passengers, mail and cargo between two points in the territory of the other contracting country, in the scope of the air services destined or originated in the country of the aircraft’s registration. This is the cabotage right, rarely granted.
Ninth freedom – The right to transport passengers, mail and cargo between two points in the territory of the other contracting country, without continuing the air services to the territory of the aircraft’s registration country. These are the pure cabotage rights, also rarely granted.
In the cases of the non-schedule (charter) flights, the concession of permit is a discretionary act of the aviation authorities (ANAC), so the request must be well substantiated.
In the cases of the schedule flights, the authorizations will be granted in case there is an express prediction in the Air Service Agreement – ASA celebrated between Brazil and the country of the aircraft’s registration.

In spite the fact that it is the first freedom, it is necessary authorization for this kind of operation, considering that Brazil is not signatory of the transit agreement.
We emphasize that this is a relatively time-consuming process and which depends on the government bureaucracy.
