Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) has approved 1,973 extra
flights between June 6 and July 20 to cover the expected huge increase
in demand during FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
TAM, GOL, Azul and Avianca—and include operations into 25 airports in the 12 cities staging matches or up to 200 km from the stadiums. Most are domestic flights.
The routes between Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires (Argentina), Brasilia and Sao Paulo, and Fortaleza and Sao Paulo are among those that will have the most additional flights.
Brazilian authorities have suggested that foreign airlines might be allowed to operate internal flights during the tournament if there is evidence of "abusive" price hikes.
Hoteliers and consumer groups in Rio have also agreed not to charge prices higher than peak New Year or Carnival season prices, amid reports that tourists face prices of hundreds of dollars per night.
