    “If we maintain this pace in the second half of the year, we will close 2025 with the best result in history,” Minister Silvio Costa Filho said

    Brazil's commercial aviation sector experienced a record-breaking first half of 2025, transporting 61.8 million passengers on domestic and international flights. This represents a 10% increase compared to the same period in 2024, the Ministry of Ports and Airports said this week in a document based on the Demand and Supply Report from the National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac).

    Airline involved in Brazil's last major crash grounded

    A Voepass ATR-72 twin-engined turboprop aircraft crashed in August, killing dozens

    Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (Anac) suspended Voepass as a precautionary measure until some non-conformities are worked out. The carrier, made up from the merger of Passaredo Transportes Aéreos and Map Linhas Aéreas, will remain grounded until “the company's management systems provided for in regulations is proven,” it was explained. Voepass' current fleet of six aircraft serves 15 locations with commercial flights and two with charter contracts.
