They will be released to charge or not for checked bags.
Attention gentlemen Airliner: is public consultation in Brazil a change package on their rights. Are new proposals by the National Civil Aviation Agency. And consumer protection agencies did not like
His Alair brought the United States two suitcases in the luggage and did not pay anything for it. Many international airlines do not charge for checked baggage up to a certain weight limit.
Professor Christiane Ramiro de Souza came from Canada. "You can bring two bags of 32 kilos without problems. Without paying anything extra," he says.
On trips within Brazil, each passenger is entitled to 23 kilos. But if the new rules are adopted, that could change. From 2018, companies will be released to charge or not for checked bags.
The National Civil Aviation Agency believes that deregulation will allow Brazil to have a low-cost system like that already exists in the United States and Europe.
The low cost is a worldwide trend. One of the biggest companies in Europe even proposed a cabin for passengers to travel on foot, but eventually gave up the idea. In Brazil, the strategy for now is to charge separately the food, bags and other services. All, in theory, to cheapen the passages.
"There's always an excuse to charge more," says Reginaldo military Sampaio.
"I would rather continue to have the right to carry my bags without pay within the limit there, stipulated," says Christiane teacher.
A consumer organization says there is no guarantee that the fare will drop.
"This is an economic movement by the crisis that we are living, but nothing justifies the loss of rights already acquired by the consumer," explains Rodrigo Alexandre, lawyer Protest.
Anac also wants to limit the right to meal and lodging when the flight delay more than four hours. The assistance would only for a day.
But the limit of hand baggage weight would increase from five to ten kilograms. And the ticket could be transferred to another person before check-in.
"We search the market itself identify the needs of consumers and what he intends to acquire. This is a successful model in the rest of the world, right, "said Ricardo Catanant, Air Services supervisor Anac.
"Boy this is something we have to do an analysis of it there. So it's a case that has to be thought more calmly, "says his Alair.
With the deadline of the public consultation, the board of Anac will discuss whether or not regulating these changes.
