A JetSMART Airlines performs today, December 28, the first flight of its new route that connects the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, in Chile.
The route will have a frequency of six weekly flights (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) connecting the terminals of RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport, in Rio de Janeiro and Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, in Santiago. This is one of the three international routes that JetSMART offers in Rio de Janeiro.
“It is a great joy for us to announce the start of our flights between Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, connecting two important cities in South America, thus bringing more people in the region closer to flying under an innovative and disruptive model that allows you to travel at ultra-low prices, only paying for what you use explained Estuardo Ortiz, CEO of JetSMART Airlines, adding that “The recent announcements of new routes in Brazil are very important for JetSMART, as they reflect our purpose of offering more and better ways to connect people.”
“In particular, two of the routes launched in Brazil are not operated by another airline; Rio de Janeiro – Montevideo and Foz do Iguaçu – Santiago, allowing more engers to travel long distances on direct flights, at affordable prices, in new, safe and punctual planes.”
“We ended the year 2022 with yet another excellent news for Brazilian tourism and for Cariocas. We are very happy to be able to expand the connection between Rio de Janeiro and Santiago, a vibrant destination, rich in history and culture. The arrival of yet another JetSMART route to RIOgaleão reinforces our position as the engine of the economy of the state of Rio”, says Philipe Karat, Traffic Development Manager at RIOgaleão.
In just six years, JetSMART has achieved significant development in its flight offer across the region and continues to expand its plans throughout South America, adding new aircraft to its fleet, to continue offering an efficient operation, with more destinations and affordable routes.
“JetSMART was created to change the travel culture in South America and almost 16 million engers have already trusted us to travel and connect with family, with their work or to discover new places”, completed the CEO.
