The Air Traffic Flow Management (ATFM) Center of Brazil’s Airspace Control Department (CGNA) quietly pushed a major update to its public portal at 11:59 BRT on 16 June. The refresh introduces interactive dashboards that combine flight-plan filings, slot allocations and meteorological data for the country’s 34 Flight Information Regions. Users can now download monthly punctuality heat-maps for the 100 busiest aerodromes, a long-requested feature by network-planning teams at LATAM, Azul and GOL. A new Application Programming Interface (API) also lets corporate-travel platforms ingest day-of-operation capacity figures and push automated alerts to travellers’ mobile phones. CGNA says the upgrade should reduce “tactical telephone coordination” between dispatchers and the Brasília command center by 20 percent and help carriers cut fuel burn linked to airborne holding. For multinational companies moving executives to remote sites, the ability to predict slot congestion at feeder airports such as Macaé and Santarém can translate into meaningful productivity gains. The portal remains free to access but requires registration for API keys. CGNA plans English and Spanish interfaces by August, coinciding with the preliminary draw of the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup that Brazil will host.
