Voa Brasil: is there a launch date scheduled?

Voa Brasil is a federal government launch that will make airline tickets available at R$1,400 for retirees and pensioners of the INSS. It is important to highlight that this new feature has not yet been launched because there was a delay in the process. 

The Minister of Ports and Airports, Márcio França, highlighted that the delay occurred due to a partnership with the Ministry of Tourism. Thus, there are details that still require some attention. 

What is the expected launch date for Voa Brasil? 

As mentioned before, the project is in the final stages of adjustments, but there is still no release date. It is expected that everything will be ready by the end of the year. It is important that citizens pay attention to this information, since many criminals are applying a coup regarding the program that hasn't even been released yet. 

Therefore, the federal government issued a statement warning that Voa Brasil's registration is not yet available. If you receive calls, messages or links regarding this, report it through the following official channels:

Furthermore, this statement also highlighted that while the program is up and running, the government will not contact people directly, but rather through the official Voa Brasil website.  

About the program 

Voa Brasil will make tickets available at R$ 200 for INSS retirees and pensioners, as long as they earn up to R$ 6.8 thousand per month.

 Thus, as Márcio França pointed out, people will be able to buy tickets through an app, which is being developed in partnership with airlines. GOL, LATAM and Azul have already agreed to be part of the program, as the minister pointed out.

The idea is for the interested party to enter their CPF number so that the government can verify that they have not traveled in the last twelve months. Those who have not traveled in the last twelve months will be able to purchase up to four tickets.
