This research deals with the following issue: “Varig, reflections on the rise and fall of the symbol of national air transport” and aims to study the transformations that the company had been through over the years, whether from a legal point of view, e. g., when the airline industry suffered changes; from the different types of management style that the company has had in the years of 1986 to 2006 when facing the new directions of the world economy, and the effects on the amount of airmen in its payroll. In accordance with the economic, social and cultural development that shows competitiveness as its core, this study aimed to answer the following question: How were the social, cultural and economic impacts dealt when Varig Corporation was wound up following the consequent departure from the company of the Brazilian airline industry? Beginning with a general inquiry, written sources were analyzed as well as all relevant documents which may provide new elements for a better comprehension of the facts of nearly eight decades of Varig Corporation history. In oral recordings, we could register and analyze the testimonies, aiming to leave to posterity the names of men and women that participated in its long history, mainly pilots and co-pilots who had to search for new opportunities in different markets, and the retired ones, who depended on Aerus, and lost their dreams of a peaceful aging as Varig stopped operating.
