September 7 - Independence or Death: Brazilian Day @SBGR, SBSP, SBKP

On September 7, 1822, on the banks of the Ipiranga River - where the city of Sao Paulo is located today - the Portuguese Prince Regent Dom Pedro ratified Brazil’s independence by proclaiming a cry in which he said: Independence or Death! It was a crucial moment in the series of conflicts that continued for a time until Brazil became independent from the Europeans.

This historic moment took place in the place where today is the largest metropolis in Brazil, the largest city in Latin America, one of the largest economic and cultural centers in Latin America, considered the capital of Latin culture: Sao Paulo.

With the historical theme of Brazil’s independence, it makes perfect sense that this great city would be the stage for yet another meeting between the virtual companies of Infinite Flight and the entire community, promoted by GOL Intelligent Virtual Airlines, with the intention of generating a large amount of traffic in the region, exploring the 3 most important airports integrated into the city of Sao Paulo (all have 3D structure).

See details below.

Cópia de DESCRIPTION  brazil theme_20250629_065420_0001

The event will take place on Sunday, September 7th. The goal is to influence the global community to fly to Sao Paulo from any of its major airports, emphasizing realistic procedures for the use of STARs and SIDs, ensuring airspace safety in simultaneous operations to both airports. The VAs that choose to support the event are free to choose the type of flight and time of arrival at the event focus.

There are 3 very busy airports connected to the big city of Sao Paulo:


Sao Paulo - Guarulhos (SBGR)
The busiest airport in the country, the largest in South America and sometimes the busiest in Latin America. Rich in international, domestic and cargo flights.


Sao Paulo - Congonhas (SBSP)
The second busiest in the country, it only operates domestic flights.


Campinas - Viracopos (SBKP)
One of the busiest in the country, it receives several domestic and international flights. It has one of the largest cargo hubs in South America.


In the spotlight, @GOL_Intelligent_VA invites @LATOUR_Virtual to celebrate the date together. The route chosen by both companies is one of the most famous.

Thank you for choosing us, may that day come soon.

Hello @LATOUR_Virtual @Jet2_Virtual We took the lead and selected 10 slots: gates 1 to 7 + remotes 20, 21 and 22 at Santos Dumont Airport (SBRJ). Are you willing to split gates/stand 8 to 19 (12 slots in total)?

@GOL_Intelligent_VA ,

Got it! We’ll stick with Remote Stands 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17.

For Congonhas Airport (SBSP), we are reserving: Apron 3 Gate 1, Gate 2, Gate 3, Gate 4 and Gate 5.

Alright! We’ll reserve gates 6 through 15 at CGH. The remaining slots at SDU and CGH are available to @Jet2_Virtual.

If the slots are full, air carriers should instruct their pilots to enter the airport as soon as an aircraft completes pushback.

Great work on the thread, looking forward to perhaps controlling SBGR!

Also the Assignments section is impressive :star_struck:
