One of the Main New Offers is Nonstop Service Between Tom Jobim International Airport and Manaus

TAM will increase the number of flights originating from Tom Jobim International Airport (Galeao) in Rio de Janeiro. The new services seek to satisfy demand and make it easier for passengers who need to travel between Rio de Janeiro and the cities of Belem, Brasilia, Campinas, Curitiba, Manaus, Porto Velho and Vitoria.

Yesterday (November 5), the Company began operation of a daily flight between Galeao Airport in Rio de Janeiro and Viracopos Airport in Campinas. A new flight connecting the cities of Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Porto Velho also began yesterday (November 5). The return flight began operating today (November 6).


As of November 12, the company will begin operating a second daily flight between Rio de Janeiro and Curitiba.


One of the main new offers will be the start of a nonstop flight between Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, beginning November 12. With this operation, TAM will be the only company to offer regular flights between the two cities without stops or connections. The return service will begin operation on November 13.


Beginning November 13, the company also will operate one more flight connecting Rio de Janeiro with Belem. On October 29, TAM initiated a new service connecting the cities of Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro and Vitoria.


The new flights are part of new investments being made by TAM in Rio de Janeiro, to better satisfy demand in this market. Besides the aforementioned domestic flights, the Company also announced international flights this year leaving Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport for Paris (France) and, more recently, Caracas (Venezuela).
