Brazil's dedicated air cargo and logistics carrier.
Founded
2000
Headquarters
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Varig Log was the cargo subsidiary of Varig, Brazil's historic flagship carrier. Established to handle the freight and logistics operations of the Varig group, it operated under the IATA code LC and ICAO code VLO with the callsign VELOG.
The airline focused on domestic and international air cargo services within and beyond Brazil, leveraging Varig's extensive network. It operated freighter aircraft to support commercial and industrial cargo needs across South America.
Following the financial collapse and restructuring of the parent Varig airline in the mid-2000s, Varig Log's operations were significantly affected. The carrier was eventually absorbed or wound down as the broader Varig group underwent bankruptcy proceedings and asset sales.
Hubs & network
Varig Log primarily operated through São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport and Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport.
Fleet
Varig Log operated Boeing 727 and Boeing 737 freighter aircraft for its cargo operations.
