History
The Department of Airspace Control originated in 12 January 1942 with the creation of the Air Routes Directorate (Portuguese: Diretoria de Rotas Aéreas, DR). The Air Routes Directorate was renamed to the Directorate of Electronics and Flight Protection (Portuguese: Diretoria de Eletrônica e Proteção ao Voo, DEPV) in 1972 before ultimately changing its name once again to the Department of Airspace Control in 2011.[1]
