  1. Interesting stuff, never heard of something like this. I'd be interested to know if there is such a program in my own country, which I'd guess there isn't - Brazil. Around a decade ago, a few low cost airlines started popping up in the country landing in relatively small scale airports in mid sized cities. It didn't last long. They went bankrupt and stopped service altogether. I know this because my mom's hometown, which we go to every xmas, has a population of only around 6000 people. The nearest neighboring city 40 minutes by car has a population of 250 thousand people. That city has a tiny airport. It's less like an airport and more like a landing zone for crop planes, but they adapted it somehow. For a couple of great years, instead of taking a 9hr bus trip there, I paid up to double the price to take a 40 minute flight instead. For the most part though, if you live in a small to mid sized city in Brazil, without strong tourism, or some other reason for there to be an airport there... it's fuck you, drive or take a bus to a bigger city, and take the flight there. :P
