Boarding groups are a standard procedure in modern air travel, particularly in the USA and Brazil where airlines use them to manage large passenger volumes efficiently. In Brazil, airlines operating domestic flights (especially LATAM, Gol, and Azul) use boarding groups extensively to streamline the boarding process at busy hubs like Galeão (Rio) and Congonhas (São Paulo). This system helps reduce boarding time and confusion at gates.
