Anac resumes suspended actions after budget recomposition

- Inspection, certification and proof of professionals will be restarted immediately; dismissal of contractors has already been reversed

The National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) resumes, from this Friday, June 12, the activities that had been suspended at the beginning of the month, due to the budget blockade determined by the Federal Government. The return of the shares was guaranteed by a transfer of R$ 25 million to the Agency’s cash, made by the ministries of Ports and Airports (MPor) and Planning and Budget (MPO).

The resources will allow the immediate restoration of 100% of aircraft certification and regulated inspection activities, including airlines, air clubs, mechanical workshops, parts manufacturers, among others. During the contingency, Anac prioritized the resources available to maintain the essential activities of civil aviation. The safety of commercial flights, operated by airlines, was not affected during this period.

Tests for pilot certification, maintenance mechanics, flight dispatchers, AVSEC stewards and instructors will also be resumed immediately. Guidelines for candidates will be available in a specific statement. With supplementation, it was also possible to reverse the termination of contractors.

Understand the budget blockade

On June 1º, Anac had to interrupt part of its activities due to the blocking of R$ 24 million in its budget, determined by Decree 12,990, of May 29, 2026. The immediate impact was the 40% cut of all regulated inspection actions, suspension of pilot, mechanic and stewards certification tests, and interruption of aircraft certification processes.

Without the budget supplementation authorized by the MPO with the support of MPor, the Agency would also need to turn off part of the outsourced employees, stop investments in information technology and cancel events aimed at the operational safety of civil aviation.
