In Brazil, unlike Europe and the USA, many airlines are gradually increasing the frequency of domestic flights within the country, but this should not be allowed, as the coronavirus is on the rise in the country.
According to this week's editorial Veja magazine, the sector was one of the first to feel the coronavirus crisis and had a decrease in the frequency of take-off landings falling to 90% in March and April.
As we saw last Wednesday, the head of state, JairBolsonaro included interstate and international passenger transport as one of the essential activities.
In other words, even if governors or mayors issue social distancing decrees to bar sectors, the services included in the Union's list can continue to operate.
