Upon returning from his participation in the 45th edition of Expointer in Brazil, the Minister of Tourism, Tabaré Viera, announced that the Azul airline will increase, as of September 12, the flights between Porto Alegre and Montevideo, to seven weekly frequencies . The presence of this company is complemented by two weekly flights between Montevideo and San Pablo and another two between Porto Alegre and Punta del Este.
Viera announced that, starting this month, the Gol company will increase from offering a daily departure between São Paulo and Montevideo to ten round trip flights per week, while two trips per day are planned for October.
The head of Tourism pointed out that Montevideo is one of Gol’s main destinations in South America and that the international route San Pablo-Montevideo was the first resumed by the company in November 2021.
“Air connectivity continues to grow and that is very important,” acknowledged Viera, adding that efforts are being made to increase frequencies with other destinations. As an example, he mentioned the connections made by Paranair, between Asunción and Montevideo, with five weekly flights, and JetSmart, which connects Santiago and the capital of our country four times a week.
In addition, efforts are being made to increase the number of Avianca flights between Bogotá and Montevideo and those of Copa between Montevideo and Panama.
