Brasília Air Force Base – ALA1 (IATA: BSB, ICAO: SBBR) is a base of the Brazilian Air Force that operates next to the Brasília-President Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport. It was created on December 3, 1963, and is known throughout Brazil for being the base of operations for the Brazilian Presidential Airplane, which is the main aircraft responsible for transporting the President of Brazil.

History

[edit]

The origin of the Base goes back to 27 November 1957 when President Juscelino Kubitschek signed the decree 42,697 establishing the Brasília Detachment of Air Force Base.[2] However, it was only on 4 December 1963, with Decree 53,077 that Brasília Air Force Base on its own right was created. Dedication took place on 1 January 1964.[3]
