Norwegian Air makes request to operate flights in the country

The low-cost airline Norwegian Air, filed last Friday, 27, asked to operate regular direct flights between Brazil and Europe. According to the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac), the authorization process lasts, on average, 120 days. After receiving approval, the company will be able to register your routes and start the sale of air tickets. But, as I have a record for non-scheduled flights (such as charters and charters), the company could "advance" their operations by means of these flights. Of Norwegian origin, the Norwegian Air is the third largest low cost carrier in Europe and has one of the bases in Gatwick, London's second largest airport. The company also operates in North and Central America, Africa, Asia and, more recently, formed a subsidiary in Argentina. This was the first request received from a low-cost foreign company with interest in operating in Brazil. According to the Faa, the Norwegian company is part of the "tendency to create new routes and pull the market for your model of operation". The information is from the newspaper O Estado de s. Paulo.
