Guarulhos Airport to Have Anti-Drone System After Trafficking Incidents and Over 100 Flights Affected in the Last Year

oglobo14 September 2026 at 21:07

São Paulo International Airport in Guarulhos will be the first in Brazil to operate a drone detection and neutralization system. The measure was taken by the Ministry of Ports and Airports, which sent the project guidelines to the National Civil Aviation Agency.

Since last year, the unauthorized presence of drones has caused delays or diversions in at least 125 landings and takeoffs at the airport. The situation has ceased to be merely a logistical nuisance and has become a public security challenge.

The complex was chosen due to its strategic importance. The devices have also begun to be used as a tactical tool by drug trafficking. In June 2025, traffickers employed drones to monitor police patrols in the vicinity of the airport.

Why this matters

Passengers using Guarulhos will be directly affected by the reduction of delays and flight diversions caused by drone incidents. The implementation follows more than 125 documented cases in the last year and the use of drones by traffickers to spy on police patrols in the region, transforming a logistical problem into a public security issue.

Companies accelerate transformation, but only 14% stand out and achieve large-scale results

A global KPMG study reveals that, although companies are accelerating their transformation processes, only 14% stand out as leaders compared to their peers and less than a third achieve results at scale across the organization. Each company manages an average of 3.5 transformation programs simultaneously, with digital transformation leading in 70% of cases. The main challenge is no longer launching new initiatives but coordinating them, requiring alignment of investments in technology, people and processes toward the same objectives. Regarding artificial intelligence, 48% of organizations report incremental productivity gains, but only 11% report substantial impact at enterprise scale, and only 19% consider their employees highly prepared to work with AI.

In testing phase, BRT and VLT begin accepting cards in Rio de Janeiro; credit has a fee

The Gentileza Terminal, in the Central Region of Rio de Janeiro, began testing the payment of BRT and VLT fares with credit and debit cards directly at the turnstiles. The City Hall regulated the measure this Monday, defining rules for the future expansion of the service. On debit, the passenger pays the normal fare value; on credit, there is an additional charge of up to 30 cents per trip to cover operational costs. CBN reached out to the City Hall to clarify whether this charge conflicts with a 2022 municipal law that determines that the fare value with card must correspond to the current price.

Wall Street closes in negative territory after calls to halt AI development

The US stock market ended in negative territory on Monday, pressured by calls from artificial intelligence industry leaders for a slowdown in technology development. The S&P 500 fell 0.48%, the Dow Jones retreated 0.29% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.56%. Chip companies were particularly affected, with Nvidia losing 3.39% and Intel falling 5.61%. A letter from Anthropic's CEO, backed by OpenAI and Elon Musk's xAI, argued for the need to halt the most advanced AI systems to avoid catastrophic harm, while Donald Trump rejected any curb, describing it as a "sick conspiracy". Microsoft rose 1.97% after publishing a code of conduct limiting its AI models. The yield on US ten-year debt surpassed the 5% threshold for the first time since 2007, amid rising oil prices fueling inflation concerns.
