A change in shipments led the new airline Itapemirim to cancel several tickets, two weeks before the company began operations, which were scheduled for July 1st. On social networks, passengers complained about the difficulty of accessing the call center.
Adalberto Bogsan, president of ITA, stated: "the demand did not come as we were expecting. We had to make a readjustment in order to have a level of occupation and supply consistent with our beginnings, as we cannot start at a loss. good profitability to turn the company around".
The company's original plan was to debut with ten aircraft and reach a total of 50 aircraft in one year. However, the company's operations will debut with four aircraft. The company's occupancy rate is 45%, while what is considered normal for an airline is around 80%. In addition, Itapemirim is also facing a judicial recovery process and has a debt of more than R$ 2 billion.
