What is aircraft positioning from Rio de Janeiro and what does it cost?
Positioning is the ferry of an aircraft to you when the right type isn't on site: usually from São Paulo. It is billed at the chosen class's hourly rate and added to the flight cost; in high season positioning is shorter as aircraft are already nearby.
