caption_attribution_description: The result of a failure in the communication system of CINDACTA I caused serious delays in Brasília for all flights.
context_page_description: The 2006–2007 Brazilian aviation crisis was a crisis in Brazil's civil aviation system characterized by massive flight delays and cancellations, air traffic controller strikes and safety concerns about Brazil's airport and air traffic infrastructure. It ostensibly started after the crash of Gol Flight 1907 in September 2006, and extended to January 2008. While the government has announced a series of measures aimed at mitigating its effects, no clear solution has been found. In Brazil the crisis has been dubbed "Apagão Aéreo", an allusion to an energy crisis which Brazil experienced between 2001 and 2002.
