Press Release - Flights to Chile & Mexico

October 6th, 2017 - Brasília, Brazil | Aviação Rápida is excited to announce that it launching service beyond Brazil. Starting October 7th, Aviação Rápida will start one daily flight to Mexico City. The flight will depart in the late evening then arrive at Mexico City the following morning. The flight will then arrive back into Brasília the same evening. This flight will broaden the options customers will have on our flights and serve popular destinations outside Brazil. Aviação Rápida will also soon be launching twice daily service to Santiago, Chile later this month. Service to a third international destination will be launched in early November.

All above flights will be aboard brand new Boeing 767 aircraft. These aircraft are in our new three class cabin configuration which will be standard in all twin aisle aircraft. The Boeing 767 is a popular model with over 1,000 being built. We are excited to bring these three aircraft to our fleet. The 767's are on a year long lease from Boeing and will be evaluated to determine future long range fleet plans.

After the introduction of these new flights, our focus is still in our home country of Brazil. Over the coming months Aviação Rápida will continue to expand rapidly in the domestic sector. The start of this is three brand new Embraer E175's. Like the 767's, these are also on lease in order to evaluate them. The 175's will serve markets that may not fit the larger Fokker 100's in the fleet. New destinations include Belém, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Campinas. We look forward to continuing to extend our presence in Brazil.
