TravelerPulse profile

Brazil's dedicated cargo airline for freight solutions.

Founded

2000

Headquarters

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Varig Log was the cargo subsidiary of Varig, Brazil's historic flag carrier, established to handle freight and logistics operations separately from the passenger airline. It operated under the IATA code LC and ICAO code VLO, with the callsign VELOG, focusing on domestic and international cargo routes. The airline played a significant role in Brazilian air freight during the early 2000s, leveraging Varig's extensive network to move goods across South America and beyond. It operated dedicated freighter aircraft to serve commercial and industrial shipping needs. Following Varig's financial difficulties and eventual bankruptcy proceedings in the mid-2000s, Varig Log was separated from the parent company and went through its own restructuring. The cargo operations were eventually acquired by other interests as the Varig group collapsed, marking the end of the Varig Log brand.

Hubs & network

Varig Log primarily operated through Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) in São Paulo and Galeão International Airport (GIG) in Rio de Janeiro.

Fleet

Varig Log operated Boeing 727 and Boeing 737 freighter aircraft for its cargo operations.
