Preparation for COP30 has gained a new voltage focus: the price to “host” planes at Belém Airport (PA). The aviation leader, responsible for the air taxi service at the terminal, was pointed out by survey of the Civil House and Itamaraty as the author of the $ 400,000 ($ 2.1 million) charges per aircraft during the event. The value, according to the government, would be the highest in the world. The investigation is from the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.
In Planalto, the fear is that pricing removes foreign delegations that plan to come on private flights, compromising even confirmed participation. The charge adds to the escalation in accommodation prices in Belém, which has already generated diplomatic crisis with some countries.
Sought by the newspaper, the leader did not confirm the values, but said that the definition of prices will depend on technical factors such as the size of the aircraft, time and support services. He said he made “relevant investments in infrastructure, logistics and team” for care during COP30.

The National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) recognized the situation, but stressed that it had no power to regulate prices. The North Airports Airport (NOA) concessionaire, which manages the airport, said she hired the leader for her experience at major events, but said she was unaware of the value of $ 400,000 awarded to the company.
Last week, the Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa, had already promised to trigger the court against abusive prices of hotels and real estate in the city. Now the government offensive must also include aviation area.
