With its beaches, parks, museums and restaurants, Vitória has attracted tourists from all over Brazil for decades. However, in recent years, the city has stood out more and more in terms of quality of life and economy, also attracting new residents and businesses. With such prominence, the air taxi sector in Vitória has also been consolidating. In this article, we will present the aircraft available in the capital of Espírito Santo and some flight options that connect the city to other destinations in the country.
Home to two important ports for the transport of ores, the economy of the capital is closely linked to shipping and steelmaking. The sectors of commerce, services and tourism also have a large share for Vitória today to have the second highest GDP per capita in Brazil, only behind Brasília. This highlight is due in part to the adoption of Tax Substitution (ST). Through ST, companies in the retail and wholesale branches of the state do not pay ICMS on the purchase of products and raw materials, increasing cash flow. For these reasons, in 2015, the British newspaper Financial Times pointed out that Vitória is the seventh best medium-sized city in the Americas to invest.
Good economy also reflects a good quality of life. Currently, Vitória is the fifth Brazilian city with the highest HDI, being the second best capital, surpassed only by Florianópolis. Located on an island, the city has a strong tourist infrastructure, with numerous hotels, museums, parks and beaches. Whether for tourism or business, the air taxi is a great option to get around to or from Vitória.
