With Electra I, PP-VAP, VARIG
started its fleet’s standardization in 1943. Those aircrafts, known
as “Electrinhas” (little Electra), initially covered all routes to
Rio Grande do Sul’s interior and Montevideo routes. Then Santa
Catarina and Paraná states.
In 1948 some Electrinhas still flew to the city of São Paulo. VARIG
owned two versions of the same aircraft: 10A and 10E. The 10E
version have a more powerful engine.
VARIG’s onboard services started with Electra I. A box containing
snacks was distributed to passengers by the co-pilot, since at that
time there was no cabin crew.
