Brazil – Ministry of External Relations
There are other companies not associated to these organizations that maintain airfreight
operations with negotiable freight charges. As they are not required to maintain regular
routes, they can afford to offer freight charges below those practiced by IATA.
The average time of air travel between a country on the Pacific coast and cities
located in Brazil’s South and Southeast regions is around six hours.
For destinations located in the North, Northeast and Center-West regions, there will
necessarily be transhipment at the airports of Viracopos (state of São Paulo) or Galeão
(state of Rio de Janeiro), thus extending traveling time, depending on transhipment
logistics and flight hours to the cargo’s final destination.
Depending on the volume of available cargo, some airlines may be in a position to
make a direct flight between the South American capitals and any Brazilian city, on a
charter basis.
Brazilian airports are run by the state-owned company Infraero (Brazilian Airport
Infrastructure Enterprise). The National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) is in charge of
supervising the national aviation control and the international agreements of which
Brazil is a signatory.
IV.5.3. Road transportation
Since almost all South American countries share land borders with Brazil, road
transportation is a natural option for trade in the region. There are several land routes
and specialized companies that freight cargo between countries on the Pacific Coast
and Brazilian destinations.
From Chile, for example, the route goes from Santiago to Ciudad de los Andes, on
the border with Argentina, passing through Mendoza and, from then on, the cargo
can proceed to the Brazilian borders in the South region through the border posts of
Chuí (on the Uruguay border), Uruguaiana (on the Argentine border) or Foz do Iguaçu
(triple border with Argentina and Paraguay), arriving at the final destination, which
may be Porto Alegre (state of Rio Grande do Sul), Florianópolis (Santa Catarina),
Curitiba (Paraná), Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais), Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and
Vitória (Espírito Santo), distributing cargo along the way in intermediary cities or
following routes that lead to the North and Northeast states.
The average time consumed in the transport of goods from the Chilean capital and
the Brazilian border is approximately 15 days, depending on the conditions of the
route.
Departing from Peru, in the cities of Lima, Arequipa or Tacna, the route follows the
Pacific road, passing through Puno (Peru – Bolivia border) towards La Paz,
Cochabamba and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, arriving at Corumbá (in Brazil’s Center-
West region, on the border with Bolivia) and, from this point, the cargo is distributed
to the states of Acre, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Amazonas, Rondônia,
Roraima and other destinations in the North and Northeast regions of the country. It
can also take the opposite direction, towards the South and Southeast states.
