Brazil Advances Toward a ‘Single South American Sky’ with New Liberalisation Deal
Brazil and three neighbours (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay) signed an MoU on 17 July that launches negotiations for a ‘Single South American Sky’. The deal would grant airlines seventh-freedom rights, fostering new cross-border routes and potential fare cuts.

The move could expand connectivity for Brazilian business travellers and intensify competition among carriers.
