The first aircraft in the fleet of Ita Transportes Aéreos, the new aviation company of the Itapemirim Group, arrived in Brazil this Saturday. It is an Airbus A320, which belonged to a Spanish woman and stopped providing service during the pandemic. The company’s first commercial flight is scheduled for March 19.
Although it has not yet revealed the routes it intends to take, the company announced that it will serve the Guarulhos airports in São Paulo, Confins, in Belo Horizonte, Galeão and Santos Dumont, in Rio de Janeiro, as well as Brasilia. Vitória, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Salvador and Porto Alegre.
According to the group’s president, Sidnei Piva, despite the fact that the tourism sector is going through one of its worst crises, due to the policies of social isolation adopted during the pandemic, the outlook is positive for Ita Transportes Aéreos.
The idea of the company, according to him, is to reach a fleet of one hundred aircraft in 5 years.
Judicial recovery
Known for trucking, the 60-year-old Itapemirim Group has been facing a judicial recovery since 2016 and filed an order in December to end its obligations to creditors. Last year, the company strengthened its treasury by selling real estate assets.
In addition to the judicial recovery, the conglomerate is experiencing a mess, involving disagreements between the company’s founders, the Cola family, and the group’s new owner, businessman Sidnei Piva de Jesus. The family has tried to cancel the formalization of the sale since October last year and has already filed a series of allegations of ideological falsehood against the buyer.
Piva even testified at the second Barueri police station, in Greater São Paulo, in October, but denied the charges.
