GOL Launches Flights to Uruguay´s Montevideo

GOL, Brazil´s low-cost, low-fare airline, began operating flights to Uruguay´s Montevideo last week. The company will offer daily flights departing from Guarulhos airport in Sao Paulo –with a stop in Porto Alegre- all the way to the Uruguayan capital.

The Uruguayan capital, Montevideo, is home to approximately 40 percent of the country´s population. Uruguay promotes agricultural and ecological tourism and offers thermal springs and world-famous beaches, such as Punta del Este.

“Beginning operations to Montevideo during the high season will offer Brazilian travelers an additional international destination. We believe that GOL´s low fares and quality service will continue to increase passenger flow between Brazil and Uruguay,” said Tarcisio Gargioni, vice president of Marketing and Services at GOL.

GOL is one of the most profitable and fastest-growing airlines in the industry worldwide that currently offers over 420 daily flights to 45 major business and travel destinations in Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, with substantial expansion opportunities.
