After absorbing Consórcio
Real-Aerovias, Varig added to its fleet five DC-6B, passenger
version. PP-YSI, PP-YSJ, PP-YSL were former SAS, while PP-YSM and
PP-YSN were former Northwest. Those aircrafts had flown in company’s domestic lines.
The DC-6 flew mainly between Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Curitiba and
Porto Alegre, while Super Constellations flew more to Northeast and
North regions. But it was possible to see DC-6 at certain times in
all major capitals from north to south.
The DC-6s were appreciated by the passengers, being fast for that
time, with pressurized cabin and comfortable. Pilots also
appreciated DC-6s for its reliability.
When deactivated by VARG, all units were transferred to FAB.
