Operations are scheduled to begin on December 9, 2024, for a total of 22 weekly flights departing from its two bases in Brazil, in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Initially Lufthansa will have three weekly frequencies, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, on board Airbus 350-900 aircraft.

The Portuguese airline will now operate flights between Florianópolis (SC) and Lisbon, starting September 3.

TAP’s twelfth destination in Brazil will have three weekly flights lasting approximately 11 hours, bound for the Portuguese capital, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, aboard Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

Tickets for this route are available from June 7 on the flytap.com website and at travel agencies, with promotional round-trip prices starting from $649 (taxes included).

BLUE

In collaboration with Banco Digio (Bradesco’s digital bank), the company announced a service that allows you to purchase airline tickets with your FGTS (Service Time Guarantee Fund) balance, directly in the company’s application.

To use the new payment method, you will need to sign up for the Birthday Withdrawal method via the Caixa Econômica Federal FGTS application. In the same app, the customer must authorize Banco Digio, the partnership’s financial intermediary, to access information on their balance.

Recently, the company also announced another aircraft for the campaign The most magical fleet in the world.

This time, the winner was Goofy, the first Disney character to star in his own film, A Goofy Movie, in 1995.

The A320neo model arrived at BH Airport, Belo Horizonte, at the end of May, after having undergone painting and customization at the Airbus factory in Toulouse, France.

The campaign began in 2021 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort and already includes customizations for other characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck.
