CGNA daily briefing introduces preferred-route playbook to keep holiday traffic moving
Brazil’s air-traffic managers issued a special ATFM briefing on 18 April establishing preferred and alternative routes to smooth heavy holiday traffic. Key measures include level-capping in the São Paulo-Rio corridor, mandatory use of waypoint KEPAD for Viracopos departures, and advance slot requests for business jets at Catarina. While no ground delays are yet in effect, carriers ignoring the playbook risk airborne rerouting just as demand peaks.
