Now, the launch is expected to take place by the end of this year. Check out all the details about this platform below and understand how it will work.

How will Voa Brasil work?
As mentioned earlier, the program is aimed at INSS retirees and pensioners who earn up to R$ 6,800. Thus, the idea behind Voa Brasil is to make tickets available for R$ 200 through an app that is under development.
In addition, the platform is a partnership between the federal government and airlines. According to Márcio França, former Minister of Ports and Airports, Brazil's three largest airlines (Azul, GOL and Latam) have already agreed to participate in the initiative.
Now, all that remains is to wait for the launch of Voa Brasil to get tickets at lower prices.
Beware of scams
Although Voa Brasil has not even been launched yet, criminals are already taking advantage of the initiative to carry out scams. So, it is a good idea to stay alert, as scammers make contact through messages, links, and even phone calls.
In other words, the websites being circulated through links and social media are fake and end up stealing victims' personal data and money.
Therefore, the Ministry of Ports and Airports is not registering people, nor is it asking them for money to participate in the program. This information is false and is part of a scam.
In addition, the ministry also emphasized in a statement that once the program is in effect, the government will not contact people directly, nor will it use intermediaries to make registration available.
So, if you see any message of this kind, it is important to report it through the official channels:
