Brazil: the number of commercial flights grows for third month consecutively
In July, Brazilian airlines registered the third consecutive month of growth in the national air network, with an average of 1,624 daily departures, or the equivalent of 67.7% of the flight offer at the beginning of March 2020, in face of the severe impacts of the pandemic in the sector.
The growth compared to the 1,230 daily departures in June is of 16.4 percentage points. The data were collected by the Asociación Brasileña de Aerolíneas (ABEAR), with data from the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), and published in our partner media in Brazil, Aeroin.net.
“Data from the national air network for July confirm that vaccination against Covid-19 is rekindling the demand for air travel. It is essential that the immunization of the Brazilian population maintains the current rate so that aviation can resume its activity in a consistent way. It is also important for us to make progress on issues that may inhibit a more vigorous recovery, such as the high price of jet fuel and taxes on the sector,” said the president of ABEAR, Eduardo Sanovicz.
