In 2009 the airline was back in operations with charter flights. The airline had a solo Boeing 737-300 ex-Gol Airlines, but it was sold to Puma Air, a Brazilian airline that started operating jets in 2010.
On June 18, 2009 BRA had its authorization to operate non-regular passenger renewed for one year by the Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Therefore, BRA operates flights on behalf of other airlines or parties, as contracted.
