Hundreds of domestic and foreign flights have been canceled at Brazilian airports due to equipment shortages, adding pilots and co-pilots. The challenge was due to a backlog of ill health leave in January due to COVID-19 and the flu.
Brazil’s three main airlines, Azul, Gol and Latam, have shown effects on their operations. After being contacted, the country’s national aviation agency, ANAC, said it was “monitoring cases of respiratory illnesses among pilots, flight attendants and other aviation professionals. “
Latam, for example, informed its passengers that it canceled 1% of all its domestic and foreign flights in January. At least 111 takeoffs from Latam were canceled between (10) and Sunday (16).
Gol also highlighted that in recent days there has been “an increase in positive cases among workers”, although it added that “no flight has been cancelled or specially replaced for this reason. Workers who test positive leave their activities safely at home,” said a note released through the company.
In the case of Azul, in January an increase of 405 percent in medical sick leave was reported compared to the average of the last 12 months, according to information from the National Aviation Union (SNA). This problem, the union stated, has led the company to propose an agreement with staff in which bonuses are presented to staff who agree to reduce the number of days off.
In a statement, Azul said that “90% of the company’s operations are normal. “However, for technical reasons, some of its January flights have been postponed.
The airline also said there had been an increase in the number of medical absences due to health problems among team members, all mild cases.
At São Paulo’s Viracopos airport, Azul’s main hub, at least 53 flights were canceled between 9 a. m. and Monday morning.
