The return journey, on the same days, will take off from Reina Beatrix airport, at 10.30pm, with landing in Greater São Paulo, at 5.50am.
“Aruba will be an exclusive destination, operated with non-stop flights from Brazil exclusively by GOL. The goal is to bring our people ever closer together and contribute to the development of tourism and business travel throughout the region,” said Mateus Pongeluppi, Vice President of Strategy at GOL, in a note sent to Travel by fare.
Ticket sales open on the site from June 3rd.
ARUBA
A favorite of Brazilians, Aruba is located 25 kilometers off the coast of South America and is one of the Caribbean islands with year-round heat, little rain and out of hurricane paths.
The destination is also known for its white sand beaches and clear waters, casinos and adventure itineraries, such as 4×4 jeep safaris and kitesurfing.
According to Ronella Croes, CEO of the Aruba Tourism Authority, the island “debuted on the Brazilian market in 1985 and has maintained a constant presence since then, overcoming several challenges over the past 39 years.”
Croes also recalls that the destination reached a significant milestone in 2014, when it registered a record number of Brazilians: 24,733 tourists. At the time, GOL offered flights to Aruba with connections in Caracas, Venezuela.
“The Aruba Tourism Authority expects an approximately 50% increase in Brazilian visitors for 2025, compared to the expected performance for 2023,” says Croes.
