Air Europa has announced the launch of a new route to Sao Paulo, Brazil’s economic capital and the largest city in South America.

As of December 16th this year, the airline will fly five times a week from London Gatwick via Madrid Barajas.

UK passengers to Sao Paulo will now be able to benefit from Air Europa’s great value for money and excellent customer service, backed up by 25 years’ history and one of the world’s most modern fleet of aircraft.

Sao Paulo has in the past decade become a global industrial and financial centre, and a gateway to the beauty of its surrounding areas.

With this service, Air Europa expands its South American portfolio to seven destinations, underlining its commitment to, and experience of, this vibrant region.

Colin Stewart, UK general manager, Air Europa, explained: “The new route to Sao Paulo underlines our commitment to connecting our UK leisure and business travellers with the leading destinations in the region”.

“In June we launched flights to Montevideo, and last November we began flights to Santa Cruz in Bolivia. Our new Sao Paulo service is further confirmation of Air Europa’s status as the airline of choice to Latin America,” concluded Stewart.
