Portuguese term or phrase: "Casas Bahia" da aviação comercial brasileira
Contexto:

"A companhia aérea XXXXX tem uma receita simples e objetiva para sucesso e lucratividade: ser uma "Casas Bahia" da aviação aomercial brasileira. A empresa vai surpreender a partir de agosto deste ano, segundo seu estrategista, Mr. YYYYYYYY."

"Casas Bahia", no Brasil, transmite a idéia de uma empresa que vende produtos baratos e populares, ao alcance de todos.

Acho que a Wal-Mart, nos Estados Unidos, transmite uma idéia parecida. Então, pensei em traduzir como "to be a Wal-Mart of the Brazilian commercial aviation".

Faz sentido? Ou há uma forma melhor?

Para evitar o uso do nome \"Wal-Mart\", talvez ***two dollar shop*** também transmita a ideia (to be the \"two dollar shop\" of the Brazilian commercial aviation).

agree  Lerber: Acho que "Walmart" transmite o sentindo que vôce quer. Para mim, "one-stop shoppping" não faz sentindo quando fala de uma empresa aerea. Nos EUA Walmart é bem barato. Otra rede como "Walmart" que é mais popular hoje em dia é "Target".
