Now, Brazil has an airspace considered Critically Deficient ( "critically poor"). This classification is usually given to sites that are in danger of war or conflict in progress. Worst of all? As this is not the case, the lowering of the reason is the lack of attention of the authorities in relation to a simple problem, but dangerous: balloons.

The high amount of balloons unleashed in near airports or in the Brazilian sky regions in general can cause fatal accidents. The low level can have serious consequences for airlines: in addition to flights decrease if the company find it is not safe enough to fly over some territories, they may have to pay more for insurance of vehicles if the risk of flight is very high. The price, of course, may end up translated into increased cost of air tickets in the future.The Brazilian side
The IFALPA warned the Department of Civil Aviation for some time that the drawdown would happen and even notified the cause, but nothing was done to convince the court to change the decision. Speaking to the season, the Air Force said he did not know the evaluation criteria of IFALPA, claiming that "the Brazilian airspace was considered by a UN body as one of the four safest in the world." However, as the index is quite important in the area, it is possible for national authorities to contact the association to try to change that soon.
