ANAC

Just for the record, ANAC (National Agency of Civil Aviation) on being investigated showed that with a few exceptions most directors were political appointees who knew nothing about aviation. That many of these directors accepted a large number of airline tickets from the companies they were suppose to regulate and...a bizarre thing: when a federal judge decided to close Congonhas for being unsafe, one director brought to the judge a regulation that said that no airplane should land in Congonnhas with one reverser locked up. With that documento the judge liberated Congonhas...but... the regulation never was made official. It seems clear that instead of regulating the airlines they were working with them, and receiving favors from them. This is why they are in the news. I donīt see scapegoating here.
