SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED--PLEASE PROTECT ACCORDINGLY
¶1. (SBU) SUMMARY. Brazil's civil aviation agency (ANAC)'s
Director-President Milton Sergio Silveira Zuanazzi formally
submitted his resignation to President Lula the afternoon of October
¶31. The same day, the "Diario Oficial da Uniao," the GOB's Federal
Register equivalent, announced the confirmation of two more new ANAC
Director nominees. This brought the total number of new ANAC
Directors to three out of five and created the conditions necessary
for Zuanazzi to step down, in accordance with the deal cut between
him and new Minister of Defense, Nelson Jobim. In August, EEB/TRA
had proposed the idea of having bilateral aviation discussions with
a view toward liberalization (Ref. G, J). Following the advice of
Jobim and his new Secretary for Civil Aviation Solange Vieira to
wait for some new ANAC members to be in place (Ref. K), post
transmitted letter (Ref. I) on October 31 accepting ANAC's September
4 invitation (Ref. H) to host bilateral aviation consultations in
Rio de Janeiro from December 5-7. The Brazilian congress's
confirmation of three new ANAC Directors in the last two weeks is a
positive development in moving the US-Brazil civil aviation agenda
forward. See para 7 for biographical information on the three newly
confirmed Directors as well as the two directors still pending
confirmation. END SUMMARY.
¶2. (U) In the two-and-a-half-hour press conference that he called
late on Thurs. morning November 1, Zuanazzi confirmed he would be
resigning, saying he had stayed quiet during all the time his agency
was criticized so as to not create problems. "I opted for silence,
but I know that the minister (new Defense Minister and former
Brazilian Supreme Court Chief Justice Nelson Jobim) doesn't
understand anything about aviation," said Zuanazzi. He went on to
portray himself as a champion of the average traveling citizen,
saying "evil forces" are acting to impede the expansion and
popularization of air travel (to poorer people) in Brazil. "They
are afraid that flight sales will increase. . . there are people who
don't want poor people to travel by air; they say that airports are
looking like bus stations," he said. Zuanazzi further said that the
measures recently announced by Jobim--which included the possibility
of eliminating reduced fares, as well as mandating fewer seats per
plane to expand leg room--would result in higher fares.
¶3. (SBU) Contentious and undignified as it may have been,
BRASILIA 00002124 002 OF 005
Zuanazzi's exit and the installation of new leadership is expected
to make US-Brazil civil aviation negotiations ultimately more
productive. Prior discussion by Ambassador Sobel and EconCouns with
Jobim and his hand-picked new Secretary for Civil Aviation and
proposed new ANAC Director-President, economist Solange Paiva
Vieira, meant that the presence of at least one new Director and
confirmation of other nominees would be the cue for Embassy Brasilia
to transmit a letter responding to ANAC's offer for bilateral civil
aviation talks in Rio December 5-7. The acceptance letter was
delivered on October 31 to the first and only new Director
physically in his chair at ANAC, General (Reserves) Allemander
Pereira Filho, who was confirmed by the Brazilian congress on
October 19 and began work on October 29.
¶4. (SBU) Civil aviation in Brazil over the past 16 months has been
a roller-coaster ride (Reftels A-F). The five-member Directorship
of ANAC had been faced with a barrage of criticism since September
29, 2006, the date Gol flight 1907 and a smaller Legacy jet flown by
two American pilots collided over the Amazon. Factors cited in
press accounts of the investigation include possible errors or
lapses in communication among air traffic controllers and between
them and the two aircraft; possible transponder system shut-down in
the Legacy jet; alleged inexperience by the Legacy jet pilots on
this particular, brand-new/maiden voyage aircraft; and a possible
language barrier between the Legacy pilots and controllers. In
addition to the military air traffic controllers coming under fire
(Reftels A-F), ANAC's leadership has been perceived as ineffectual
and even cavalier in addressing what the Brazilian media quickly
labeled the "Aviation Crisis."
¶5. (SBU) A second tragedy, in addition to the frequent delayed or
canceled flights, air traffic control center blackouts, and news
footage of passenger resignation or wrath, was the last straw for
the Brazilian government. The July 17, 2007 fiery crash of a TAM
flight at Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport killed 199 persons in the
plane and on the ground. One of ANAC's Directors, Denise Abreu, was
accused of using both her political influence and a false legal
justification to persuade the Justice Department to circumvent
normal airport safety procedures. This allegedly allowed ANAC and
by extension, the airport authority, INFRAERO, to open the newly
extended runway where the crash occurred even though certain safety
measures such as pavement "grooving" had not yet been implemented.
(NOTE: reports of the investigation indicate a variety of potential
contributing factors, including a short, although within legal
limits, runway; a non-operating--again, legally so--reverse
thruster; wet pavement; and the presence of a gas station in the
direct path of the aircraft as it skidded and then veered off the
end of the elevated runway. Reports of the investigation also
indicate that the overall cause of the crash may have been pilot
error. The deceased pilots are now alleged to have approached at
too high a speed and to have not compensated for the locked-down
thruster, thus overshooting the runway. The resulting thruster
imbalance, in turn, is thought to have caused the aircraft to veer
off the runway and into the gas station, which exploded. END
NOTE).
BRASILIA 00002124 003 OF 005
¶6. (SBU) The public perceptions that ANAC and INFRAERO had
apparently valued profits and flight frequencies above safety were
deemed unforgivable, and culminated in a public outcry for Abreu's
ouster as the person who signed off on the opening of the runway.
(Comment: Abreu had already faced heavy criticism when photos were
published of her posing in an evening gown and smoking a cigar at
the wedding of fellow former ANAC Director Leur Lomanto's
daughter--an event which just happened to take place during one of
the worst episodes of flight delays and cancellations. An estimated
18,000 passengers were affected that weekend by ANAC's own
estimates, and the event was soon dubbed the "Baile do Apagao," or
"Blackout Ball," by the media. End Comment.) Abreu resigned and
was investigated by a special tribunal of the Brazilian congress, or
CPI. The CPI's final report, released October 31, removed names of
her alleged accomplices, such as ex-President of INFRAERO and
current congressman Carlos Wilson (of President Lula's party in the
state of Pernambuco), but maintained the call for criminal
indictment of Abreu. Three more ANAC Directors later also resigned,
apparently in response to public and political pressure but citing
"personal reasons." Only Zuanazzi consistently held firm for
months, refusing to resign, saying he would not be a scapegoat, and
asserting that he had a mandate to complete. Under Brazilian law,
Defense Minister Jobim had no authority to fire Zuanazzi outright.
Undeterred by this display of defiance, Jobim proceeded to nominate
five people as replacement Directors, including one for Zuanazzi
himself.
-----------------------------------
The New ANAC Leadership
-----------------------------------
¶7. (SBU) The following five people have been named by Defense
Minister Jobim and approved by President Lula to take over the ANAC
Directors' positions:
a) Solange Paiva Vieira, proposed Director-President-still pending
Senate Committee and plenary approval. Once approved, she would
take over the position for the rest of its five-year mandate, until
early 2011.
- 38 years old, recently married (on honeymoon until November 12);
a native of Valenca, a town in the interior of Rio de Janeiro
State.
- Academic Background: Undergraduate degree in economics from the
Federal University of Juiz de Fora (State of Minas Gerais); Master's
in economics from Fundacao Getulio Vargas, Rio de Janeiro
- Career: Began as an officer with BNDES, the National Bank of
Economic and Social Development. In 1999, went to the Ministry of
Social Security, where she created the "security factor," a formula
that introduced life expectancy into Brazilian retirement
calculations, and became Secretary of Complementary Security. In
this position, she audited the major pension fund plans, recommended
interventions and defended the extension of retirement age before
one could collect one's pension. She was fired by the minister of
social security in 2001, accused of being "harsh" with the
complementary security agencies under her purview. In 2003, she
headed Telos, the pension fund of Brazilian telephone company
BRASILIA 00002124 004 OF 005
Embratel, ensuring that people who did not work did not receive a
pension, and participating in the sale of Embratel. In 2005, Vieira
returned to BNDES in the credit area, where she remained until
Minister Jobim called her to be his advisor. On September 18, Jobim
announced his intent to name her to replace Zuanazzi as head of
ANAC. On October 9, faced with a recalcitrant Zuanazzi, he named
her to the newly created post of Secretary of Civil Aviation within
the Ministry of Defense, pending Zuanazzi's departure.
- Reputation: The newspaper Gazeta Mercantil said November 1 that
Vieira is "attractive, 38, haughty/proud, possesses an immense
potential to captivate admirers and create enemies, but does not go
unnoticed in the jobs in which she as acted." Vieira is widely seen
as intelligent, shrewd, capable, and someone who does not shirk the
hard duties. The Folha de Sao Paulo speculated October 31 that she
may have some difficulty attaining Senate confirmation due to her
work reforming the social security administration, during which time
she made some enemies and caused constituents to protest
vociferously to their congressional representatives. Other press
sources have cited her lack of aviation experience. However, a
Brazilian senate staffer told Econoff recently that he did not
anticipate a problem with her approval. Embassy believes she will
be a focused and pragmatic negotiator.
b) Allemander Pereira Filho (confirmed 19 October and published in
Diario Oficial Mon. 22 October; in place at ANAC as of 29 October.)
- Career: Currently General in the Reserves; 25 years of
experience in ANAC's predecessor, the DAC (Departamento de Aviacao
Civil). From 2001 to 2005, he was head of the DAC's Subdepartment
of Infrastructure. Will fulfill the remainder of the appointment of
Jorge Luiz Brito Velozo, who had a 5-year appointment until sometime
in early 2011. Unless the position title is changed, Pereira will
be Director of Operational Security, Investigation and Prevention of
Aviation Accidents.
c) Marcelo Pacheco dos Guaranys (confirmed Tues. 30 October and
published in Diario Oficial Wed. 31 October; date formally in
position TBD; not yet in his office space)
- Academic background: Law degree with specialization in Economic
and Business Law
- Career: Economist; currently head of General Coordination of
Transportation and Logistics of the Secretariat for Economic
Monitoring at the Ministry of Finance. He is taking the place of
Leur Antonio Britto Lomanto, to complete a four-year term ending in
early 2010. Unless the position title or responsibilities change,
Guaranys will be the ANAC Director charged with Airport
Infrastructure.
d) Alexandre Gomes de Barros (confirmed Tues. 30 October and
published in Diario Oficial Wed. 31 October; date formally in
position TBD; not yet in his office space)
- Academic background: Graduate in civil engineering from the
State University of Campinas, Sao Paulo State, 1991; Master's in
Operations Research from the Aeronautical Technical Institute (ITA),
a higher education institution linked to the Brazilian Air Force and
located in the General Command of Aerospace Command in Sao Jose dos
Campos, Sao Paulo State; Doctorate in Transportation Engineering
BRASILIA 00002124 005 OF 005
from the University of Calgary, Canada.
- Career: Currently assistant professor at the University of
Calgary, Canada; Member of Council of Directors and head of the
Scientific Committee of the Center of Planning and Transportation
Engineering in Alberta, Canada; experience in transportation
engineering, with emphasis in airports and air transportation; has
acted principally in the segments of planning, including airport air
transport systems and intelligent transportation projects. Airports
with which he has assisted planning include New York's JFK,
Seattle/Tacoma, Boston Logan, Leeds (U.K.), Hong Kong, and Incheon
(Seoul). He is taking the place of Denise Abreu to complete a
four-year term ending in early 2010. Unless the position title or
duties have changed, Barros will be in charge of Airline Services
and User Relations.
e) Claudio Jorge Pinto Alves (nomination still awaiting
confirmation)
- Academic background: Postgraduate in aeronautical and airport
infrastructure; Master's from the Polytechnic School of the
University of Sao Paulo (USP); Doctorate, Aeronautical Technical
Institute (ITA), a higher education institution linked to the
Brazilian Air Force and located in the General Command of Aerospace
Command in Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo State. Post-doctoral
studies at France's National School of Civil Aviation (ENAC)
- Career: Currently professor at ITA; has been a consultant to
ANAC's predecessor, the DAC, as well as Embraer, INFRAERO, and
Petrobras. Once confirmed, he will likely take the place of former
ANAC Director Josef Barat, who was charged with International
Relations, Studies and Research, to finish a term that will end in
early 2009.
----------
Next Steps
----------
¶8. (SBU) While two Directors--including proposed
Director-President Vieira--still await confirmation, on November 5
post confirmed with the Ministry of External Relations (MRE) that
our December 5-7 aviation bilateral discussions will go forward in
Rio de Janeiro. The MRE says the GOB delegation is primed and
"ready to go," although our interlocutor could not yet define the
precise makeup of the delegation. Post will report further when all
ANAC Directors are confirmed, in place, and occupying specific
positions. In the meantime, we will continue to follow up with
ANAC's Rio office to try to obtain the GOB's delegation list as
quickly as possible, as well as to assist with logistical
arrangements for our delegation's planned arrival the first week of
December.
