The Spotter Day event
In 2015, Infraframerica held the 1st Spotter Day at Brasília Airport and the 1st in Brazil held by an airport . Since then, the event has become mandatory on the calendar of the terminal in Brasilia.
The last edition was promoted in 2019. Due to the pandemic and the impossibility of agglomerations, in 2020 the 6th edition of Spotter Day became Spotter Night, a cinema version of the action and which was organized at the Drive-in Festival in the airport parking lot .
Instead of taking photos on the landing and takeoff track, photographers were able to the best moments of past editions and watch a movie inside their car following all health protocols.
The Spotter Day at Brasília Airport has become one of the biggest and most disputed in the country. Several spotters from other cities and even abroad have already participated in the editions.
Inframerica also designed an event for young spotters. Children from 7 to 14 years old can participate in an exclusive action for the age group, Spotter Kids, which takes place once a year.
Spotter Day aims to encourage the hobby of plane spotting, which consists of recording images of planes, a very common activity in airports around the world and a unique opportunity for lovers of aeronautical photography.
