Quote from the above Wikipedia article (translation by Google Translate):

“The Department of Airspace Control ( DECEA ) is a military governmental entity of the Brazilian Air Force Command, which in turn reports to the Ministry of Defense. Its mission is to manage the operation of traffic services in Brazil's sovereign airspace, as well as to coordinate their defense with COMDABRA ( Aerospace Defense Command ).

…

Brazilian Airspace

Responsible flight information regions of Brazil.

The airspace under the responsibility of the country extends beyond its borders. It surpasses the area over its territory and reaches a significant part of the Atlantic Ocean, making a total of 22 million km2, on land and sea, agreed in international treaties.

In other words, in Brazil, air control assumes gigantic proportions, which makes it a strategic and national security task, entrusted by law to one of the Armed Forces.

The Department of Airspace Control (DECEA) is the organization of the Air Force Command responsible for controlling this area. It brings together human resources, equipment, accessories and infrastructure with the mission of providing the safety and fluidity of the region's flights.

Thus, the evolution of air traffic flow in the national airspace is controlled daily by four major operational bases, subordinate to DECEA: the integrated air defense and air traffic control centers, also known as CINDACTA.

They act on airspace subdivisions called Flight Information Region, or FIR, according to official nomenclature. In Brazil, there are five FIRs, on which four CINDACTAs operate:

CINDACTA I (Brasília-DF) Responsible for the Brasília FIR, which covers the central region of Brazil.

CINDACTA II (Curitiba-PR) Responsible for the Curitiba FIR, which covers the south and part of south-central Brazil.

CINDACTA III (Recife-PE) Responsible for the Recife and Atlantic FIR, covering the Northeast and the Atlantic Area

CINDACTA IV (Manaus-AM) Responsible for the Manaus FIR, which extends over much of the Amazon region.

At the same time, CINDACTAs bring together civil air traffic control and military air defense operations. A successful integration solution that has been recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (UN activity regulator) to the other signatory countries, as a model of economy of means and operational safety.

The Cindactas are also added by the São Paulo Regional Flight Protection Service (SRPV-SP), which is responsible for controlling the highest flow density traffic in the country, along the São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro air terminals.

Finally, to ensure a balance between capacity and demand at aerodromes and control sectors, there is yet another DECEA unit, the Air Navigation Management Center (CGNA).

Created from the necessity of air flow ordering in order to speed it up where there is opportunity or need, the CGNA operates under a collaborative decision logic, in which representatives of airlines, airport administrators, regulatory organizations, among others, are participants. and they are exposing information daily and sharing responsibilities in order to join forces in the name of more effective decisions.

The CGNA is a kind of operational manager of the country's flight flows, where all air movements are monitored 24 hours a day, in order to enable air circulation, ensuring the effectiveness and operational safety of air transport.”
