Brazil’s civil aviation authority has approved a new airline, Itapemirim Transportes Aéreos (ITA), after a year of approvals including certification flights in April. The airline’s parent, Itapemirim, is an intercity bus company that in the 1990s operated six Boeing 727 freighters and two passenger Cessna Caravans.
