A memorandum of understanding signed this Tuesday, July 14, between Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay seeks the creation of the so-called “South American Single Sky”; an initiative for the integration of the regional civil aviation market and greater accessibility of air services among the participating countries.

Transportation authorities from the signatory countries met to advance the “gradual liberalization of air transport in the region, respecting the legal and regulatory frameworks of each state.”

Among the objectives of this agreement, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Ports and Airports, is “expanding the range of flights, progressively reducing regulatory barriers, and facilitating airline access to the markets of participating countries, in order to improve regional connectivity and increase competition.”

The four South American countries will create a working group with a one-year deadline to establish proposals for the gradual implementation of the Single South American Sky project.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States has lifted the restriction on flights in Venezuela, according to NOTAM A0008/23 issued on June 2, 2023 by said agency. This measure reverses the prohibition to carry out flight operations in Venezuelan territory and airspace below 26,000 feet.

With this decision, the notice known as NOTAM C0013/19 of May 1, 2019 is annulled, which grants permission to airlines and commercial operators in the United States, as well as to aircraft registered in that country, excluding air operators. foreign.

For its part, the government of President Joe Biden denied recent reports disseminated by the propaganda media of the Nicolás Maduro regime about an alleged resumption of direct flights between the United States and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

It is important to clarify that the FAA’s removal of the no-fly ban allows US civilian operators to use Venezuelan airspace in a pinch to safely divert and avoid dangerous weather conditions common in the region. However, this action does not imply the authorization of commercial flights to and from Venezuela.

The test of the 100 % digital boarding system of the + Safe boarding program, which uses the Brazilian government’s facial recognition, began this week. The program was created by the Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure (MInfra) and developed by Serpro, a technology company of the Federal Government, with the aim of making the boarding process at air terminals safer.

The first air route to use this technology was executed with volunteer passengers from Azul Linhas Aéreas, on a trip from Congonhas Airport to Santos Dumont. For the first time in the world the passengers of the air bridge service between the capitals of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro participated in the simultaneous end-to-end testing of this technology without the need to present the boarding pass or identity document.

Safety and speed

The test begins at check-in, when the passenger receives a message requesting authorization on their cell phone to take a picture. Subsequently, and after issuing consent, the official proceeds to biometric validation comparing data and photography with government bases in an absolutely digital process.

Next, the verification phase is passed, then the passenger enters the departure lounge and subsequently the aircraft, going through biometric control points through cameras, without the need to present physical documentation or the boarding pass.

According to the statements of the president of Infraero, Paes de Barros, + Safe boarding program in the air bridge “brings together two fundamental aspects to streamline boarding processes, which are safety and ease for passengers and the entire civil aviation system”.

With the implementation of this system, Brazil is at the forefront of the digital transformation that combines biometric validation with data analysis, guaranteeing a precise, agile and secure result of the passenger’s identity.
