From 27 June, and for an initial period of six months, Gol is flying once a week from Brasilia to Curaçao. The flight is operated on Saturdays and it was made possible by the joint effort of several tour operators.

Delta begins today the operation of its direct and non-stop flights from Los Angeles to São Paulo (Guarulhos int’l airport). The Los Angeles - São Paulo flight leaves at 21:00 and lands in Brazil at 13:20 the following day. A Boeign 736-300 ER will be used in the route.
It seems Azul airlines will be flying to Belo Horizonte from August 5 2009, with 4 daily flights between Campinas and the capital of the state of Minas Gerais. It was time Azul gave up on its fight with the government of Minas Gerais to use the Pampulha airport. It will fly to the Confins airport instead. We are back from our holiday break and hopefully we should be able to catch up real soon with all the Brazilian aviation news.
With a touch of scepticism we had already published the announcement by Infraero (the Brazilian’s government body responsible for the country airports) that Brazilian airports were to offer free wi-fi. Infraero, following the Brazilian government principle that every measure has to be announced with ostentation and then carried out when and if there is any time available, promised that free wi-fi access would be made available in December 2008. The date has now been postponed and wi-fi access should arrive to the 12 main Brazilian airports in June 2009. It remains to be seen the kind of service that will be provided, as the media is reporting that Infraero claims that due to date security reasons, access to secure sites (banks, email) will be restricted.
The Brazilian Civil Aviation Authority, ANAC, in an attempt to innovate, has just added to its website a Espaço do Passageiro, a space where passengers can rank the airlines that operate in Brazil - both national and international. The marks given by passengers will be used to create a consumer satisfaction ranking. To be able to take part, the consumer needs to have a CPF (Brazil’s tax identification number). That means the new tool is restricted to Brazilians and foreigners living in Brazil. After the take-off from Congonhas airport in São Paulo comes the landing at the very same airport. The video shows the final approach coming from the west. At videos you can see the list of videos we have published so far in the blog.
Azul is already selling tickets for Maceió, flights beginning on 1 June. Azul is expanding its action to a destination abandoned recently by Webjet - arguing it wasn’t profitable. And from 4 June Maringá (Paraná) will receive four daily Azul flights from Campinas. Trip is announcing a new daily flight Vitória - Ilheus - Salvador from today. And soon flights from Londrina to Rio de Janeiro, Cuiabá, Manaus and Foz do Iguaçu. The company is promising the flights for June. Trip is becoming more interesting by the day - a potential candidate for a commercial agreement with one of the main airlines. You can see the routes flown by Trip here. An announcement on the page of the airline Taf informs that it is cancelling all its regular flights until at least July 2009. Taf flew between Fortaleza, Belém, Macapá, Manaus and Cayenne (French Guyana).
This blog is taking a holiday break for the next five weeks. During that period there will be little activity here. Back at the end of June. During the time, and if you read Portuguese, you can get all the information on cheap flights and aviation in Brazil at our mother blog Aquela Passagem!. |
