In the complex world of intergovernmental shipping logistics, a Trailer Interchange Agreement is a contract that covers the transport of goods on their way to their destination when they are transported by truck drivers working for different companies. Correspondence agreements are relatively new and are increasingly used by aircraft operators in Brazil. In response to industry requests, ANAC and the Brazilian Civil Aviation Registry (RAB) have recently clarified several trade rules. Due to their novelty, interchange agreements are not always included in the sector. Interchange agreements have some similarities to line spacing and code-sharing agreements, but have important differences. Despite the lack of clarity, Brazilian airlines have recently implemented and implemented connecting agreements, both for Brazilian-registered and foreign aircraft, often operated by Brazilian connection points. For the purpose of registering an interchange agreement, whether the aircraft is registered in Brazil or abroad, the RAB requires a letter from the owner of the aircraft that accepts the interchange and proof that this aircraft has been included in the operational specifications of the Interchange if the interchange is a Brazilian entity. Other documents may be required on a case-by-case basis. These rules lack clarity on certain points. For example, they need a registration from the Central Bank of Brazil, normally necessary for the transfer of currency.
However, central bank rules do not always require such records. For example, they are not necessary for agreements with a duration of less than 360 days. Therefore, if an interchange contract is less than 360 days, the airline may not meet this requirement. In addition, central bank records require the registrant to indicate a certain level of firm payments. However, in the case of connecting agreements, the parties rarely know in advance how many times the exchange will use the aircraft. . . .
