GOL AIRLINES TO RESUME DIRECT FLIGHTS BETWEEN BRAZIL AND CANCUN
September 5, 2024
The Brazilian airline Gol Linhas Aéreas will resume its direct flights between Brazil and Cancún, starting on December 10th. The airline will offer two weekly flights which will attract a greater number of visitors from Brazil and the South American continent.
“Direct flights between Brazil and Cancún were suspended in February 2023 and now, with a recovery in demand and a renewed vision of the new era of tourism in Quintana Roo, Gol will be the only airline to offer this direct route with two weekly flights,” Governor Mara Lezama said in a statement.
She continued, “the viability of operations to Cancún, one of the largest tourist destinations in the world, which currently does not have direct flights from Brazil, represents an immense gain for Brazilians, Mexicans and, other leisure travelers from all over South America.”
“Gol’s objective is to bring our people closer and contribute to the development of tourism throughout the region,” said Rafael Araújo, the Director of Gol Air Planning. The resumption of flights to Cancún is part of Gol’s international expansion. With this, Quintana Roo is increasingly connected to the world, bringing more tourism than ever to the Yucatán peninsula.
