Justice confirms redistribution of Varig routes

The Brazilian airline Varig was not able to avoid the decision taken by the Brazilian Air Controller to redistribute the company's international routes, amidst the financial troubles currently being faced by the traditional company. The Brazilian Supreme Court rejected an appeal to overturn a previous decision by the Justice system to start distributing international routes to competitors. The Brazilian Air Regulator (Anac) had decided last week to grant the redistribution of routes to Europe and the Americas to other companies, a decision that will likely be ratified later this week.
