Grupo Saritur judicial recovery in Brazil

Overview

In August 2026, the Minas Gerais Justice authorized judicial recovery proceedings for Grupo Saritur, a major Brazilian transport conglomerate. The group reported a debt of approximately R$959.7 million across 41 linked companies, including entities such as Transnorte, Autotrans, and Viação Jardins.

The court order provides a 180-day suspension of collection actions to protect essential assets like buses and workshops, while the group has 60 days to submit a recovery plan. The company attributed its financial distress to pandemic-related ridership drops and rising operational costs for diesel and maintenance. Local authorities in Belo Horizonte noted that the recovery process should not affect the group’s contractual obligations regarding service schedules or passenger safety.
