Day 1 – Wednesday/Thursday DAILY Bringing you the news from the ALTA Latin American Airline Leaders Forum at Cancun – 29 November ALTA Daily sponsored by CFM International Brazil's new order sweeps in
The possibility that Varig may soon receive its air operating certificate (AOC) and restore some of its routes will not reverse the sea change that has already taken place in Brazil's airline sector. TAM has replaced Varig as Brazil's leading carrier, both on domestic and international routes, with a market share of 51% and 55% respectively, while low-cost Gol has grown rapidly to grab 37% of the home market. Under a deal hammered out between new Varig, Brazil's bank- ruptcy court, and the two agen- cies that regulate commercial aviation, the airline hopes to ob- tain its AOC in the first week of December.

When it comes to replacement engine parts, it’s all the more important to insist on the real thing. Experience indicates that installing copied parts in a CFM56™ turbofan, and not following CFM work scope guidelines, can reduce the engine's time on wing by as much as 40%. As a result, cost of ownership escalates. The fact is, copied parts do not undergo the same rigorous system testing as genuine CFM parts. With our parts, you have the reassurance of knowing that they’ve been extensively tested within a totally integrated working system, and have benefited from 25 years in service, not to mention 320 million operational hours.

Bolivia limits Spirit to enter South America with Caracas service fuel subsidies to domestic flights
