What they said

Aline Mafra, Director of Sales and Marketing at LATAM Brazil, said: “The new route to Amsterdam expands Brazil’s connectivity with Europe in a consistent and strategic way, strengthening access to one of the continent’s main economic and logistical hubs and creating another important gateway to the region. In addition to meeting passenger demand, the operation also boosts cargo transport and contributes to the development of tourism and foreign trade.”

Marcelo Freixo, President of the Brazilian Tourist Board, added: “The opening of a new LATAM destination in Europe, something that hasn’t happened since 2018, is the result of the serious work of many teams, while also establishing a positive outlook for the growth of tourist flow from Europe to Brazil. The number of Dutch visitors arriving has been growing faster than the European average, and this new flight will help us reach even further. The connection with Brazil’s largest airport opens up opportunities not only for tourism in Sao Paulo, but for all Brazilians.”
