TAM SA buys Pantanal Linhas Areas


TAM buys Pantanal for R$ 13 million (about £4.3 millions)
TAM SA announced on Monday, 21st December that has agreed to buy the small Pantanal Linhas Areas. To be completed the operation must be approved by the National Agency of Civil Aviation.
TAM SA is continually expanding its business. Not only has become the largest airway company in the country as is strongly competing with other international airlines. For the past months, I have had the opportunity to see ads of the company in many British newspapers. It is very gratifying to see a Brazilian company growing as TAM is. Congratulations!

Brazilians are mad with the Robin Williams’ comment about the victory to host the 2016 Olympics. During the David Letterman show the actor said that Rio de Janeiro "would have sent 50 strippers and a pound of powder [cocaine] for the Olympic committee." To date there has been no word of apology from the actor. However it was a joke or not, why on earth an enshrined actor as he is, made such a dumb comment? In the words of Eduardo Paes, mayor of Rio, he is jealous.
