According to estimates by Brazilian officials, within a month of the event there will be 600,000 international tourists coming to this South American country, along with 3 million indigenous people who want to travel to watch the match live.

According to information from Honeywell, a famous US manufacturer of aviation safety technology, Brazil has 14 airports serving the World Cup but only 2 of these are operating at full capacity, the rest are in poor condition.

When Brazil was chosen as the host country for the 2014 World Cup in 2007, the airport was seen as a big problem here.

Aviation has become an important means of transportation in Brazil because the road and rail systems are not good and with the distance between cities too far, tourists are forced to choose to fly.

The Brazilian Association of Aviation Businesses (ABEAR) said they are ready for all situations and will increase flights to meet increased travel demand.
