The latter will be the first turboprop of the company based in Campinas to fly with the Brazilian flag painted on its fuselage. The aircraft departed together from Toulouse around 11:30 am (local time) bound for Las Palmas, with an estimated arrival time of 15:00 pm.
In Las Palmas, the crew will spend the night and travel tomorrow (25) to Dakar, Senegal. From the stopover made in the capital of Senegal, the three new aircraft will travel to Natal, expected to arrive on Sunday (26).
