Universal Weather Reviews the 2014 World Cup Brazil; Tips
for
Business Aviation Operators
Houston (Nov. 18, 2013)For business aviation operators planning
to be in Brazil during the
2014 World Cup, Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. is
recommending they should begin trip
planning without delay due to all facilities and services being
in very short supply during this
time. The games will take place Jun. 12 - Jul. 13, 2014 with the
finals held Jul. 12-13 in Brasiliaand Rio de Janeiro.
Twelve cities across Brazil will host the games and general
aviation (GA) is expected to carry11% of the anticipated 600,000
international spectators. Initiatives are underway to
increaseairport and Air Traffic Control (ATC) personnel and boost
airport facilities/technology to
support the increased air traffic during the period of the
games.
Its expected that all primary airports will require slots and/or
Prior Permission Required
(PPRs) during the games, said Andre Camargo, Country
Manager,Universal Aviation Brazil.
Non-official sources report that PPRs and airport slots will be
granted one month prior to the
games. After this application period, no additional
authorizations will be issued.Many smaller,domestic airports are
not Airports of Entry (AOEs), and some may not have
English-speaking
ATCs. Because many airports are already congested, we recommend
that aircraft parking be
requested as soon as schedule is known, advised Camargo. Be
aware that there may besituations where you will be required to
drop off/pick up passengers and depart.
All operations to Brazil, to include overflights and landings,
require permits. Permits can takeup to 48 hours to obtain, and be
aware that a Temporary Admission (TA) is required for foreign-
registered aircraft in order to operate domestically within
Brazil, advises Camargo. To obtain a
TA, operators will need to provide the following: aircraft
registration and certificate of
airworthiness, crew certificates showing type and medicals, and
aircraft insurance policy.
Visas are necessary for all crew who do not possess certificates
issued by a national governing
aviation entity. Camargopoints out, Passenger visa requirements
must be checked prior to
operating to Brazil, and its important to note that passenger
visas cannot be obtained uponarrival.
Brazils larger cities have a selection of 4- and 5-star crew
accommodation options; however,options are limited at smaller
locations. Accommodations are expected to sell out at all event
venues during the games, so expect prices to be higher and
cancellation policies to be extended.
Book now, as there will likely be very limited options later on,
recommended Camargo.

Camargo also recommended staying abreast of NOTAMs issuances for
each of the cities hostingthe games, as well as crew and passengers
ensure they have the proper documents and
immunizations before operating to Brazil. Operators should be
advised that the Center for
Disease Control (CDC) recommends Yellow Fever vaccinations for
travel to Brazilallowing10 days post inoculation prior to Brazil
entry. Brazil, however, does not require these
vaccinations.
