Brazil considers further flight cuts as coronavirus crisis bites
Brazil's govt is discussing with the country's main airlines further reducing a minimal flight schedule implemented due to the coronavirus crisis as travel demand remains close to zero, 3 sources told Reuters. The existing pared back flight schedule was designed by Brazil's civil air travel regulator in late March and connects 46 of Brazil's cities with close to 180 flights per day on average. Brazil is larger than the continental US and has some 210m people. But a study by Brazil's govt, the sources said, found that there are too many empty or close-to-empty flights in the current schedule. The country's 3 main airlines are also bleeding cash, like their peers around the world, with most of their fleets grounded. <br/>
