Varig fights to keep routes

The Brazilian airline Varig continues trying to avoid losing its most profitable international routes to other airlines in the country. According to the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, the company has already filed an appeal at the Brazilian Supreme Court to overturn a previous decision by the Justice system to start distributing international routes to competitors, due to the ongoing financial problems at the traditional company. The Brazilian Air Regulator (Anac) had decided last week to grant the redistribution of routes to Europe and the Americas to other companies, but now it must still wait for the Supreme Court's decision, which can come later this week.
