The Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority is about to meet with its Argentinian counterpart with the intention of renegotiating the bilateral agreement between the countries. This renegotiation would result in an increase on the number of frequencies between both countries. If this results on a healthy increase of competition between airlines it will only mean excellent news for travelers. We’ll keep you posted as more news emerge.

A summary of the entries published at D Airfare during June (a very short month as we were away for half of it).

Tam Museum reopens
São Paulo – Barcelona for 310 USD with Qatar Airways
agreement between Brazil and the European Union
is Tam’s optimism justified?

On 14 July an agreement on traffic routes should be signed between representatives of the Brazilian goverment and the European Union. This agreement will replace existing bilateral agreements between Brazil and EU members (there are currently 15 agreements with 27 countries). There will be just the one agreement that will allow more EU airlines to fly to Brazil and within Brazil and more Brazilian airlines to do the same in Europe.

However, positive as the agreement might be, don’t hold your breath and expect to see new routes being announced on 14 July. The aviation market is profit-driven. The agreement allows for new routes, it does not create them automatically.
