Petrobras has not yet commented on the price increase. Jovem Pan tries to contact the state-owned company
Petrobras increased the price of aviation kerosene (QAV) by 55% when selling from refineries to distributors. The information was published by the Reuters news agency this Wednesday (1st) and confirmed by Young Pan.
QAV is used by airlines on medium and large aircraft. With the adjustment, the price will be passed on by the distributors to the airlines.
Petrobras has not yet commented on the price increase. THE Young Pan try to contact the state company.
On Wednesday (31), the Grupo Abra, Gol’s controller, had already said that Petrobras would increase the price of the QAV by around 55%. The adjustment occurs while oil prices on the international market rise, amid the US and Israeli war against Iran.
‘War belongs to Trump’
the war in Iran and the effects on the international price of oil, which has made fuel more expensive, especially diesel oil, in the Brazilian case. The country imports around 30% of what it consumes domestically.
According to Lula, the government is taking possible measures and will adopt all measures to avoid an increase in the price of diesel, which directly impacts inflation.
“We take all possible measures to prevent the increase in diesel oil. But, in the last government, they sold the distributor [BR Distribuidora, ex-subsidiária da Petrobras]. So, when we don’t raise the price, even if Petrobras lowers the price, it doesn’t reach the end, because the middlemen don’t let us”, stated the president, in São Paulo, during an event that celebrated the 21st anniversary of the University for All Program (Prouni) and the 14th anniversary of the implementation of the Racial Quota Law.
“We will only calm down when the price of diesel oil does not rise, because the war belongs to Trump, the war does not belong to the Brazilian people and we do not have to be victims of this war”, he said.
The expectation is that the government will publish, later this week, a provisional measure (MP) that creates a subsidy for imported dieselwith a discount of R$ 1.20 per liter. The information was confirmed this Tuesday (31) by minister Dario Durigan, who stated that the government is trying to guarantee the adhesion of all states before publication.
