The Viação Itapemirim S.A. was a Brazilian passenger road transport company. It was founded by businessman, military veteran and later politician Camilo Cola [pt] (1923–2021) on July 4, 1953,[3] in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, Espírito Santo, Brazil. It was the largest road passenger transport business in Brazil and Latin America.[citation needed]

Due to financial difficulties and scandals involving the diversion of funds from the judicial reorganization to create ITA Transportes Aéreos, the company had a bankruptcy decree in court on September 21, 2022,[4][5][2] after EXM Partners, responsible for the company's judicial reorganization, reported not having more chances for the group to recover financially.[6]
