Emergency Response Brazil

FLOODING IN BRAZIL

In response to the flooding in southern Brazil, ACS has received requests for charter flights into and out of the region and are on hand to arrange more for both passengers and cargo. With the main airport of the affected region of Porto Alegre currently unavailable, we have compiled a list of those closest, as well as their capabilities, and continue to keep a close eye on the airport situation, alongside aircraft availability in the region. At present there is a wide variety of cargo aircraft available from very light utility aircraft to widebody, including Cessna Caravans, Saab 340s, AN12s, B737s, B727s, MD11s, and B747s.

Please see below for more information.
