The crisis came to a head on Tuesday night, when officials were forced to temporarily shut down three major airports and cancel dozens of flights because of an apparent equipment failure that caused controllers to lose contact with planes.

"There has never been a day like this in Brazilian aviation," said Milton Zuanazzi, the aviation authority chief.
