I have this STAR Alliance Round the World ticket and my flights within Brazil this August 3 Sao Paolo to Rio de Janeiro and onward 8Aug Rio to Sao Paolo onward to Miami are cancelled, it says that flights are not operating! I am here in the Middle East and there is no VARIG agent here and agents here are not aware of what's going on at Varig. Is there some kind of airline strike or something? Thank you for your informations.

Yes, Varig is bankrupt and they werent able to pay for fuel etc., so the only route they are flying right now is Rio - Sao Paolo. All other routes are cancelled for now.
They have been sold to an international consortium a couple days ago and they expect to have some routes in a few weeks.

With its bright sandy beaches, leaping hills and picturesque harbour, it's no surprise that Rio de Janeiro is called the "cidade maravilhosa", or marvellous city and with hotelbye you are able to get the chance and visit this amazing city. Rio de Janeiro is facing the South Atlantic coast and may be the second-largest city in Brazil. This town is gifted with one of the very most lovely organic adjustments for a metropolis in the world. The spectacular landscape is one of the causes that guests decided Rio de Janeiro. During carnival year, a festival that everybody heard, the streets load with audio and ornately costumed performers getting tourists from all around the globe.

The company is bankrupt!
Check to see if American airlines would accept your tickets.
