ARIG, officially known as Viacao Aérea RIo-Grandense, was a major Brazilian airline. It was one of the oldest and largest airlines in South America. VARIG was founded in 1927 and operated until 2006, when it ceased operations.
At its peak, VARIG was known for its extensive domestic and international routes, connecting Brazil with various destinations around the world. It played a significant role in the development of commercial aviation in Brazil and was a source of national pride.
However, in the 2000s, VARIG faced financial difficulties, which eventually led to its bankruptcy and cessation of operations. Despite its historic significance, VARIG is no longer in operation, and its assets and operations have been absorbed by other airlines.
