I just read that Azul will announce the purchase of 20 ATR's next Tuesday, good news! A different a/c means more pilots, more fa's and more jobs on the ground. I am curious about the strategy, I don't think they will compete with TRIP, more likely to TAM/GOL.
With the current situation in the Brazilian market I have my doubt's what is going to limit the grown, pilots shortage (suitable pilots) or the infrastructure. I read an interesting article written by D. Neelmann telling how the infrastructure could be improved without using huge amount of tax money that eventually would end up in the pockets of a few selected men/women.
Let's be honest, the current increase has nothing to do with World Cup or Olympic games. These two events are just a bonus.
bons vôos!
