Vibra Energia / BR Aviation
Brazil's largest aviation-fuel distributor (BR Aviation brand, 90+ airports); referenced as the co-participant in the shared Porto Alegre fuel-pool infrastructure alongside Raízen, but a standalone company confirmation of its Porto Alegre fueling base was not independently located. Correction: Vibra Energia (formerly BR Distribuidora) was privatized out of Petrobras starting 2019, with Petrobras's remaining stake fully divested by 2021 — it is now an independent, B3-listed company, not a Petrobras subsidiary; the draft's "(Petrobras)" tag was removed as inaccurate.
