Published this Friday, July 21, in an Official Gazette, Virgin Atlantic, One of England's largest airlines, was authorized by the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) to operate flights to and from Brazil. The company should have direct flights between São Paulo and London.
It will be another low cost airline operating in Brazil, increasing competition between airlines. The expectation is that Virgin will effectively start operating in May 2024 on daily flights.
Last week, another low-cost international airline, Arajet, from the Dominican Republic, was also authorized to fly in Brazil.
It will operate three weekly flights from Santo Domingo to Guarulhos International Airport, in São Paulo.
Anac is evaluating three other requests for authorization from companies wishing to operate in Brazil: two for passenger transport and one for cargo transport.
Currently, there are 33 foreign airlines authorized to operate scheduled commercial flights in the country.
