NEWS UPDATE:

Sao Paulo based low cost airline GOL has announced the full integration of VARIG, the airline it purchased in 2007 into a single airline company. See full details by opening the related link below Varig has been around forever and was once the best South American airline with annual awards to prove it.

We, at Alternative Airlines, want to see Varig recover from the recent troubles and re-emerge as an airline befitting this great brand. Currently the network is very limited but if you’re looking for flights to Brazil from Europe, the Frankfurt service is great value, as is the service from Toronto.

Varig’s current fleet consists of 25 Boeing 737’s and 2 Boeing 767-300ER’s. The airline also has a further twenty Boeing 737 aircraft on order.
