Flights to Brazil
Hooray it looks like we must be getting some better flights soon!! (Currently there are not any direct flights to and from Rio - they all have Sao Paulo stopovers).
While most carriers around the world are decreasing flight schedules and routes with rising fuel prices, there will be an "up to 50% increase" in passenger flights between the US and Brazil, thanks to a new air services agreement, to meet increasing demands.
The previous agreement only allowed only four airlines (from the US: American, Delta, United, Sao Paulo) from each country to operate these routes - now, which will now no longer be applicable. The agreement can also increase the number of weekly flights between the two countries from 105 to 154 by Oct. 2010.
Great! Now all that's left is for the brazilians to learn english.
