BRA (Brasil Rodo Aéreo) Transportes Aéreos was a short-life Brazilian low-fare airline based in São Paulo, Brazil, which used to operate both domestic and international scheduled services, as well as charter flights. Its main base was São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport[1]. BRA was the third largest airline in Brazil with 4.19% of the domestic Brazilian market as of August 2006[citation needed].
