Low-cost airline JetSmart requests authorization from Anac to operate in Brazil

The low-cost airline JetSmart, controlled by the U.S. fund Indigo Partners, asked the National agency of Civil Aviation (ANAC) authorization to act in the Brazilian market. The company wants to operate routes departing from Argentina and Chile to the country. In note, Anac recalls that in addition to JetSmart four other companies have come to the country since the deregulation of the baggage allowance. Three low-cost foreign companies already operate in the local market: The European Norwegian, the Chilean Sky Airlines and the Argentine Flybondi.
