In Brazil, LATAM Brasil (TAM) and Avianca Brasil operated the model in its most 'common' configuration for 144 and 132 engers respectively.
Itapemirim planned to operate the jet with capacity for 124 engers on selected routes, the total capacity of the aircraft is for just over 150 engers depending on the company.
follow by FlightRadar24 the return flight of the aircraft. At this time, the A319 took off from Espargos on Sal Island, where it made a technical stopover.
Stopped at TAP M&E since arriving in Brazil, this A319 still has the colors of its former operator, the Hi Fly Malta.
In November last year, the jet landed in Brazil, but was sent directly to the TAP M&E facilities in Galeão, in order to receive adaptations to fly on the airline's network. However, that did not happen, and Itapemirim ended its activities even before taking the plane into the air.
