A LATAM just resumed the direct flight between Fortaleza and Miami this Monday (25/7), which had been suspended in April 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Outside the Rio-São Paulo axis, Fortaleza airport is the second to have international destinations, after Porto Alegre.
In all, the route reduces travel time by half (from 16h to 7h40) compared to a connecting flight at Guarulhos airport, in São Paulo.
The direct Fortaleza-Miami flight also facilitates access to the American destination from other capitals connected by the company to the capital of Ceará, especially those in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil.
As Aline Mafra, Director of Sales and Marketing at LATAM Brazil, “We are strategically resuming the offer of international flights from other airports outside the Rio-São Paulo axis and the reopening of Fortaleza-Miami shows that we are on the right track to expand our connectivity where there is potential demand for it”.
