An unnamed diplomat quoted by Russian news agency TASS said direct air service between the two countries would benefit bilateral relations.
Brazil and Russia are prepared to assist in organizing direct flights between the two countries, an ambassador said, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
The ambassador, whose name and nationality were not specified in the available report, said that establishing direct air service between the two nations "would bring many positive benefits to the interaction between the two nations," TASS reported.
The report did not provide further details on a timeline, specific carriers, or the current state of negotiations between the two countries regarding such flights.
TASS did not immediately provide additional context on prior discussions between Brazilian and Russian officials on this matter.
Brazil and Russia are both members of the BRICS grouping of major emerging economies, alongside China, India and South Africa, and have maintained diplomatic and economic ties in recent years.
