The girl from Ipanema goes walking -- usually -- but when she goes flying, she might use Transbrasil SA Linhas Aereas. Traveling between 37 cities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Europe, and the US, Transbrasil offers passenger, freight, and mail services. It has a young fleet consisting mostly of Boeing 737s and 767s. The company offers flights to remote cities in Brazil's interior through its InterBrasil Star regional service. Transbrasil has partnered with Delta Air Lines to expand its US market. Transbrasil has an agreement with TAM, Brazil's third largest airline, to coordinate operations. Founded in 1955 by Omar Fontana, the Fontana family controls about 76% of the company.
