Flyways Linhas Aéreas (Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont) has resumed commercial operations following a three-month long suspension of operations.
According to Brazil's national airport authority (Infraero), the carrier's inaugural service - Belo Horizonte Pampulha-Uberaba Mário de Almeida Franco - took off on Monday, October 10. The route, which uses the carrier's sole aircraft, ATR72-500 PR-TKN (cn 580), was followed by flights to Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont a week later.
Other destinations that are due to come online include: Brasília Juscelino Kubitschek International; Montes Claros; Uberlândia Cesar Bombonato; and Ipatinga Usiminas.
Flyways recently underwent a change in ownership after running into financial difficulties earlier this year. It is expected to source a CRJ200 from Amaszonas (Z8, La Paz El Alto) at some point in the coming months.
