A protest by air traffic controllers suspended takeoffs of all aircraft in Brazil on Friday night, according to the government news service.

All 49 commercial airports in Latin America's largest country were closed for takeoffs, but planes in flight were allowed to land normally, Agencia Brasil reported.
