As FIFA´s Soccer World Cup approaches, Brazilian authorities adapt and prepare to receive the expected public for the event. One of the concerns regarding the event is the increase of air traffic to airports located on the vicinity of the arenas and protection on airspace surrounding the event.

Therefore, last May 1st. Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority ("ANAC") issued AIC 12/14, a specific aeronautical information circular ("AIC") with changes and/or temporary interruptions of certain rules and procedures within Brazilian airspace during the FIFA World Cup.

AIC 12/14 includes changes regarding: airports and their vocation; coordinated and monitored airports; flight plan presentation and approval; safety flight measures; and airspace restrictions.
