History

Sideral was founded in 2010, and belongs to the Expresso Adorno Group, headquartered in São José dos Pinhais, starting as a cargo airline. It currently operates flights of the Night Postal Network (RPN), a postal service that allows cargo to be sent to destinations in less than 24 hours, in addition to cargo transportation services in general.

In early 2017, Sideral leased some Rio Linhas Aéreas aircraft, which ended its operations. In December of the same year, the company received approval from National Civil Aviation Agency to transport passengers, and currently has three aircraft adaptable for this purpose in its fleet.

In June 2019, the company requested authorization from ANAC to operate passenger routes from Congonhas Airport.[1]
