GOL Linhas Aéreas has just announced the return of flights in Porto Alegre through operations at the Canoas air base (QNS), a municipality located in the metropolitan region of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, on June 1st. From that date onwards, up to 9 direct weekly round-trip flights between São Paulo/Guarulhos airport and Canoas will be available to Customers.
GOL is sensitive to the need of the population of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, as well as the entire state of Rio Grande do Sul, to have connectivity reestablished as soon as possible, also transporting inputs, volunteers and professionals that citizens need so much in this moment of resumption of the State.
Every day of the week, flight G3 9084 will leave São Paulo/Guarulhos airport towards Canoas at 10:15 am, with landing scheduled for 12:00 pm on Rio Grande do Sul. G3 9085, back to São Paulo/Guarulhos, will take off at 13:30 pm in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, with landing scheduled for 15:10 pm in the capital of São Paulo, also on a daily basis. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, flight G3 9086 leaves GRU at 6:15 am to arrive at QNS air base at 8:00 am; The return flight, G3 9087, leaves Rio Grande do Sul at 9:30 am and lands in GRU at 11:10 am, always on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Since ANAC authorized the start of commercial flights to the Canoas air base, last Friday (17), GOL has been carrying out careful assessments in order to meet various security and infrastructure requirements on site, which need to be respected in order to the opening of its operations.
GOL's operations at the Canoas air base (QNS) will be carried out using modern Boeing 737 aircraft, with capacity for up to 186 engers.
Customer service will be provided at ParkShopping Canoas
GOL informs that all customer service in Canoas will have as its focal point the ParkShopping Canoas (Av. Farroupilha, 4.545, Marechal Rondon, Canoas). The check-in, baggage check-in, boarding and disembarking processes will only be carried out at ParkShopping Canoas, and not at the Canoas military air base, located in an area neighboring the commercial establishment.
To reinforce this special service to Customers, in the Company's sales channels the base name will be: Canoas – ParkShopping (QNS).
