TwoFlex
TwoFlex Aviação Inteligente is a domestic airline based in Jundiaí, Brazil, founded in 2013.
History
TwoFlex was formed on April 1, 2013 as a result of the merger of Two Táxi Aéreo and Flex Aero Táxi Aéreo.Between August 2016 and June 2019, TwoFlex operated wet lease flights on behalf of Voe Minas Gerais, a State-run project that connected cities within the State of Minas Gerais to the State capital Belo Horizonte. TwoFlex was the only operator for the duration of this program, which was discontinued on June 30, 2019.
In November 2017, Twoflex was granted rights to operate regular feeder passenger flights connecting smaller locations to main cities in all Brazilian territory. At the time, this authorization led to the increase of services provided by Voe Minas Gerais.
Being authorized to operate feeder services nationwide, on April 12, 2019, TwoFlex announced an adapted Essential Air Service partnership with Gol Transportes Aéreos in which TwoFlex would operate feeder services on behalf of Gol in the States of Amazonas, Pará and Mato Grosso. Following the same trend, flights to six locations in Rio Grande do Sul and eleven in Paraná were confirmed.
Another consequence of this authorization was being allowed to bid for slots at São Paulo–Congonhas Airport. On August 14, 2019, the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil confirmed that TwoFlex was granted 14 slots at Congonhas but can only operate using the auxiliary runway 17L/35R. TwoFlex plans to connect São Paulo-Congonhas with three cities in São Paulo State and one in Rio de Janeiro State.
On 14 January 2020 Azul Brazilian Airlines signed an agreement to purchase Twoflex. On March 27, 2020 the Brazilian regulatory bodies gave its full permission to the purchase and sale of flights started on April 14, 2020.
