Brazilian lawmakers examine aviation policy and flight availability impacts

The Chamber of Deputies' Tourism Committee will hold a public hearing on June 10, 2026 to assess how the pending tax reform could affect international air transport. Deputy Bacelar (PV‑BA) warned that unclear tax treatment may raise ticket prices, limit flight supply and reduce Brazil's competitiveness as a tourism destination, with knock‑on effects on hotels, restaurants, transport and employment.

The Consumer Defense Committee is scheduled for June 9, 2026 to debate recent changes in airline flight offerings across the country. Deputy Daniel Almeida (PCdoB‑BA) said airlines often alter schedules without transparency, risking reduced connectivity that could harm mobility, tourism, business activities and investment. Both hearings aim to gather input on how aviation policy influences the Brazilian economy and consumer rights.
