Yes it does Raceco, but what happen GPA? South America all ready has a Ryanair model for a number of years.Its a very hard market there when your not a local, sounds like getting rid of 73 orders to me.
FR will be parking aircraft in winter in the future hence a short term lease during South American summer earns money. FR not trying to run the airline as under Brazilian law they could only own 49%.
They not trying to emulate GPA just ensure that during a downtime they utilise aircraft.
Additionally no doubt the Brazialian airline may seek to emulate some of the success of FR hence an outlet for people on secondment. Remember Brazil in next decade has a couple of very big sporting events which will allow lots of opportunities.
