It is no longer news that the airline VoePass, formerly Passaredo Linhas Aéreas, wants to insert the Boeing 737 into its fleet. However, a publication made by Leonardo Cassol on the Melhores Destinos website reveals that the regional airline has already started, with ANAC (National Civil Aviation Agency) the process of its certification as the operator of the plane.

Aiming to prepare for the expansion of its flight offer at Congonhas Airport, in São Paulo, the airline VoePass recently made official its interest in operating the Boeing 737. The company sees this as an opportunity to increase its participation in the capital's airport São Paulo, which should start receiving a greater number of daily operations from airlines.

After the bankruptcy of Avianca Brasil, VoePass inherited some operation slots in Congonhas that belonged to the former company. However, flights operated from the busiest airport in Brazil are made with the same aeronautical models that are already part of the regional airline's fleet: the ATR 42 and 72.

The company's current fleet consists of 15 ATR planes of types 42 and 72. With them, the company operates flights that connect marginal airports, or small cities, to international airports and large capitals.

It is worth remembering that, if VoePass obtains the desired certificate, it will not be the first time that it will operate jet aircraft. This is because, for a time, when it was still Passaredo, the company operated the E145, from the Brazilian manufacturer Embraer, in addition to being the only national company to fly the Airbus A310.

According to the company, the inclusion, in the fleet, of the 737, which are larger jets in relation to the planes already present, will adjust the offer and the company's performance to Congonhas Airport, one of the busiest and most important in Latin America .
