Brazil's physical characteristics and the requirement of fast economic growth led (starting in the 1930's) to the establishment of a vast network of air services. These routes and many more new ones are operated by a number of commercial airlines, both at the commuter (or feeder level) and at the medium to long range level, increasingly using Brazilian-designed and built planes.
There are presently ten international airports, fully operational and offering high standards of comfort and efficiency. Besides direct air connections to all other South American countries, several in Central America, and many destinations in the three countries of North America, Brazil is linked by air routes to every continent. All airlines registered in Brazil are private enterprises, some of them allowing foreign equity participation.
