GOL Linhas Aéreas announced that it will resume operations as of September 1 between the airports of Congonhas, in São Paulo, and RIOgaleão, in Rio de Janeiro’s North Zone.

The airline informed that there will be three daily flights between the two airports. To better serve customers, the airline has planned for each flight to have a time slot (morning, afternoon and evening), thus ensuring a variety of options to choose from.

In addition, GOL now has 27 daily flights between the São Paulo airport and the city of Rio de Janeiro, 24 of them on the traditional airlift to Santos Dumont. Considering the offers from Guarulhos to Rio, the airline also has another five daily flights to Santos Dumont and another five to Galeão, totaling an offer of up to 37 daily flights between the main airports of the two metropolises.

With the new flights between Congonhas and RIOgaleão, the company guarantees service to the most diverse travel purposes of our customers flying in this important commercial aviation market,” said Bruno Balan, Strategic Planning Manager of GOL’s Airline Network.

In addition to customers flying on the airlift, the new route meets the demand for international connections to Europe, the United States and Latin America at Galeão for customers from São Paulo with flights from partner airlines such as American Airlines, Air France/KLM, Avianca, Aerolineas Argentinas, among others.

Likewise, customers from Rio de Janeiro now have a complement of connections at Congonhas to destinations throughout Brazil, such as the capitals of the South and Midwest (Curitiba, Campo Grande, Goiânia, Florianópolis and Porto Alegre) and cities in the interior of Brazil such as Araçatuba, Caxias do Sul, Joinville, Ribeirão Preto, São José do Rio Preto, Maringá, Navegantes, Presidente Prudente, Uberlândia and Uberaba.
