The dream of flying can finally become a reality for more Brazilians! The federal government has just announced the start date of Voa Brasil, an innovative program that aims to democratize access to air travel by offering affordable tickets to retirees with an income of up to two minimum wages and ProUni beneficiary students.
How Voa Brasil works
Unlike other programs that depend on public subsidies, Voa Brasil stands out for its direct digital management by the government.

Who is eligible for the program?
The program is aimed at:

Expectations and challenges of Voa Brasil:
The launch of the program is eagerly anticipated, with the potential to promote social inclusion and democratize access to air transportation.
However, the program also faces challenges, such as airline participation in the initiative and users’ flexibility in adapting their trips to the proposed conditions.
Voa Brasil marks an important initial step toward democratizing air travel, demonstrating the government’s commitment to facilitating access to essential services for all citizens.
The program was scheduled to launch tomorrow, April 17. However, it was postponed because of President Lula’s trip to Colombia. Therefore, the launch remains without a defined start date.
