• Jet fuel was between R$2.11 and R$2.16 per liter in 3Q15, a decline of approximately 14% in relation to 2014. The per-liter fuel price in Reais in the quarter was partially benefited from the fall in international prices of 48.5%, however it was adversely impacted by the average depreciation of 55.5% of the Real against the Dollar in the period, besides the 45-day delay in jet fuel price formation due to the criterion of fuel pricing in Brazil.
