On November 1st, Petrobras announced a 7,27% increase in the average price of aviation kerosene (QAV) in 14 refineries in the country, compared to the price in force on October 1st.
With this announcement, the QAV accumulates an increase of 58,8% from January 1st to November 1st, according to a calculation by the Brazilian Association of Airlines (ABEAR). QAV alone s for about 40% of an airline's total costs.
“The readjustment in the price of QAV maintains an extremely difficult scenario for airlines and is a topic of constant concern for us and for the entire sector, as it represents almost half of the costs of the operation. It is urgent to review the QAV pricing model, as 90% of the fuel is produced here, but we pay the price of an imported product”, says the president of ABEAR, Eduardo Sanovicz.
