A NEW BRAZILIAN charter carrier, Skyjet, has started operations with flights to Margarita Island in Venezuela, Cancun, Mexico and the Virgin Islands, operating a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30.

Skyjet will take delivery of a second DC-10 by the middle of this year. It hopes to operate it on proposed routes, which include Miami and Orlando.

The company also plans to add a Boeing 737, which will be operated on connecting flights from Sao Paulo to other southern Brazilian cities.
