On Tuesday night, the Ministry of Defense authorized the use of FAB planes by the next president-elect, Jair Bolsonaro (PSL). The authorization was forwarded to the Air Force Command, which should now consult Bolsonaro's availability on acceptance.
The motivations that led the Ministry of Defense to take this attitude are due to the attack on September 06th, and the threats that the future president has been receiving in recent days.
On voting day, Jair Bolsonaro left the house heavily escorted with armored cars and Federal Police agents, in addition he wore a bulletproof vest to vote in the electoral college.
The authorization allows Bolsonaro to fly in Brazil and abroad on FAB planes, he will have four planes at his disposal, including turboprops and jets such as the C-99, a military version of the ERJ-145 with 50 seats, manufactured by Embraer.
In addition, he can fly Learjet and Legacy aircraft, pure executive jets, with capacity for 8 and 12 engers.
Probably the future president will use the plane according to the need to move his team. He has already declared that he can go to Brasilia on November 06th with a Brazilian Air Force plane.
In Brasilia, the Federal Police and the National Force will provide security for the future president, until he assumes his mandate in January. A transitional government will be installed in Brasilia in the coming weeks, requiring extra security, just as it exists for the current president.
President Michel Temer has already authorized Bolsonaro to use the presidential residence in Granja do Torno.
