Portuguese term

liberação de sinal

Portuguese to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general)
Hello,

I've been translating a series of answers in Spanish to a customer satisfaction survey by an airline industry organization.

One of the respondents has replied in Portuguese, and I'm wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me with translating it:

gostariamos que a XXXX (name of organization) tivesse um maior poder nas negociaçoes quanto solicitação de **liberação de sinal** ex. ABC airlines.

What I understand is: We'd like XXXX to have greater negotiating power in terms of requesting ...., e.g, ABC airlines.

This is Portuguese from Portugal, and the translation is to British Ënglish.

TIA

Liz Morales

It is confusing to me if this LIBERAÇÃO means DISPENSA (waive) or PAGAMENTO (payment). But for sure SINAL is down payment.

More info... I may be mistaken about the variant of Portuguese; I have found another in Portuguese with a reference to Brazil.

waiving of the down payment

Some airlines ask for a deposit or down payment when booking a flight. It seems the respondent is suggesting that this demand be negotiable.

payment of the deposit

'liberação' in financial terms tends to mean 'payment'. I think we'd say 'deposit' on a flight rather than a 'down payment', which would normally be used for material goods such as a car.
