Rio de Janeiro - The National Agency of Civil Aviation (Anac) approved the release of prices for all charges for international flights. The resolution, to be published today in the Official Gazette of the Union, provides for the reduction of the minimum price set for tickets and return at 20% for three months. From July to October is the effective reduction of 50% and until April 2010 there will be the floor established by Anac.

The measure has the potential to reduce the amounts charged by the companies now up to 40% by the middle of next year. Businesses, however, are not required to reduce the amount of tariffs. The fall will depend on the competition in the sector. The measure says the Anac raise this competition.

As an example, the minimum price for passage to the United States, but for $ 708, now drops to $ 566, to $ 354 in July and to $ 142 in October. In Paris, the flight cost at least $ 869 and drops to $ 695 immediately. In September last year, the Anac had overthrown the floor for flights to countries in South America

The end of minimum prices was approved in a meeting at the offices of Anac in Rio de Janeiro. The National Association of Business Aeroviárias (SNEA) requested access to the meeting, but no representative attended. The SNEA claimed that the meeting was convened on Monday "by e-mail, hours after the union," and that studies that measures taken. Brazilian airlines argue that the end of the floor to expose the predatory competition from foreign companies. The Anac contest: "TAM and Gol are extremely efficient and have operating costs that put them among the best in the world," said the chairman of the agency, Solange Vieira. Today, only two countries do prices for international tickets, other than Brazil: China and Japan

For experts, the claim of airlines does not make sense. "It 'chororô' of TAM. The price will fall with a horrible distortion of the market and will increase the interest in the Brazilian go abroad, "says Paulo Bittencourt Sampaio, partner of Multiplan Consultants in Aviation.
