  • Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency has authorized EuroAtlantic Airways to operate regular flights.
  • This new authorization allows the airline to offer scheduled international services for passengers and cargo.
  • EuroAtlantic's entry into the regular market is expected to enhance competition and provide more options.

Brazil has granted EuroAtlantic the license to offer regular international flights, according to decree 16.300, which was published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) on Thursday.

EuroAtlantic, a Portuguese company, can now operate as an international carrier, providing air transportation services for both passengers and cargo.

This big introduction will improve links between Brazil and European cities, leading to more tourism and business opportunities.

According to local media InfoMoney, EuroAtlantic’s charter-only operations may limit frequency and flexibility.

The airline’s initial routes and frequencies would be determined in collaboration with Brazilian airport operators, allowing for significant growth.

This expansion may have far-reaching effects outside the EuroAtlantic region.

The airline’s entry into the standard market will expand its offerings and contribute to the expansion of Brazilian aviation.

According to the report, the company will offer nine weekly flights from São Paulo to New York, five weekly flights from Santos Dumont to New York, nine weekly flights from Rio de Janeiro to Orlando, another weekly flight from São Paulo to Orlando, and two weekly flights from Brasília to Guarulhos.

Regulatory compliance: a key step forward

EuroAtlantic’s entry into the regular air transport industry required rigorous adherence to ANAC requirements.

These included operating capacity, safety compliance, and documentation demonstrating the airline’s fitness for expansion.

ANAC is committed to ensuring the safety of aviation in Brazil.

EuroAtlantic’s authorization indicates confidence in its abilities and intends to improve reliability as it competes in the Brazilian aviation market.

The ANAC precedent requires new airlines to fully address regulatory requirements when growing.

An edge in passenger and logistics markets

ANAC believes that EuroAtlantic’s regular operations will improve competition.

This is another player in an industry where a few companies frequently dominate, resulting in better services and offers for customers.

Competitive pricing can benefit passengers, resulting in more cheap international travel.

The logistics sector might potentially reap major benefits. Brazil’s freight forwarding industries will also benefit from regular flights to Europe.

These measures can attract more corporations to invest in Brazil’s economy and strengthen international commercial links.

This award is significant for both EuroAtlantic and Brazilian aviation history.

EuroAtlantic Airways aims to drive regional air travel growth through increased international connectivity, competitiveness, and travel options for passengers.

Airport operators, tourism boards, and businesses will closely monitor EuroAtlantic’s performance when it launches additional routes.

If successful, this project could inspire other Brazilian carriers to follow suit, potentially transforming the country’s aviation industry.

EuroAtlantic aims for operational excellence and safety as the foundation of its future, establishing a strong presence in the global aviation industry.
