The four new connections will depart from Belo Horizonte International Airport, in Minas Gerais, as of December 12, and will be permanent.

In view of the high demand and with the objective of offering more practicality and comfort to customers in the interior of Minas, from October 4th, Azul will start selling tickets to the cities of Varginha, Patos de Minas, Paracatu and Teófilo Otoni, starting from from Belo Horizonte International Airport.

Azul Conecta will be responsible for operating the flights that will connect the four cities to the state capital, Belo Horizonte. The flights will take place aboard the Cessna Grand Caravan model aircraft, with nine seats, from December 12 this year.

In response to the development of the regions surrounding the cities of Varginha, Passo de Minas, Paracatu and Teófilo Otoni, at the start of operations there will be three weekly flights to Belo Horizonte International Airport.

“Our airport is a hub, a flight distribution center that is always close to people, ready to expand destinations and shorten distances. The increase in Azul’s connectivity at our airport brings great satisfaction, shows the confidence in our management and that we are on the right path to offer the best airport experience to our customers”, emphasizes the director of Operations and Infrastructure at BH Airport, Herlichy Bastos.​
