Azul announces today its regular operations at the Canoas air base, in Rio Grande do Sul, starting June 1st, with the possibility of anticipation. Flights will take place daily to/from Viracopos Airport, from where Customers will be able to connect with hundreds of national and international destinations operated by the company.
This measure was taken in response to flooding at Salgado Filho International Airport, which interrupted its operations indefinitely. Azul is the airline with the largest number of flights and destinations served in Brazil and has the largest network in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.
The operation will depart from Viracopos International Airport, the company's main hub, at 08:15 am, arriving in Canoas at 10 am. The return flights will depart at 11:30 am, arriving at 13:15 pm, in Campinas, with Embraer E1-195 aircraft. It is worth noting that, since last month, the company has reinforced its operations with extra flights to alternative airports in the state: Pelotas, Santa Maria, Santo Ângelo and Uruguaiana, with departures from Viracopos and Curitiba.
For these operations, the embarkation and disembarkation location will be ParkCanoas Shopping, which will serve as a base for customer service. Therefore, Azul advises that Customers arrive at the location 3 hours before take-off time, as check-in will close 90 minutes before flight departures. More information can be found using this link.
To continue ing affected communities, Azul created a Social Humanitarian Fund, which will be used to provide to people impacted by the climate tragedy in Rio Grande do Sul and for future crises. Donations can be made via bank transaction (Banco Itaú, Ag. 0910, C/C 0099704-8, Associação Voar, CNPJ 35094152/0001-85).
With the suspension of activities at Salgado Filho International Airport, Azul also announced 110 extra operations for the month of June 2024, relocating aircraft to new routes in Brazil. “Azul’s air network is robust and versatile, allowing us to respond quickly to adverse situations and guarantee continuity of services. Our commitment is to always offer connectivity and to our Customers, especially in critical moments like this,” says the executive.
Sales are now available on the Azul website, at the sales center or at partner travel agencies. See below the schedules and frequencies of new Azul flights between Canoas (RS) and Viracopos (SP):
