ITA Transportes Aéreos Ltda (also known as ITA, or Itapemirim) was a new Brazilian airline, based at São Paulo 's São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport.
The airline, which belongs to the Itapemirim Group, was founded in 2020 and began operating services in June 2021.

The airline initially began operating domestic services across Brazil with 1 Airbus A320 aircraft. ITA is on a mission to put passengers first and will be the first domestic airline in Brazil to offer free baggage allowance to all passengers, in addition to offering more space between seats. However, as of December 2021, the airline has ceased operations and its air operators certificate (AOC) has been suspended by the Aviation Agency of Brazil.
