Traveling between Brazil and the United States is still more expensive than used to be. But it is not different than what is happening in the airline industry in other markets as well. Traveling anywhere has become more expensive after the Covid-19 pandemic.
But the airline market between Brazil and the U.S. has never been so big. A report from Simple Flying shows that the market between the United States and Brazil is massive, with airlines offering over 350,000 seats between the two nations in October.
Three American and three Brazilian carriers connect the US to Brazil: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Azul Linhas Aéreas, Gol Linhas Aéreas, and LATAM Brasil. American and United have the highest number of scheduled flights in October, each with 70 weekly departures, or ten each day. LATAM Brasil is not far behind AA and UA in terms of flights but has the highest seat offering of the carriers, with 22,384, or 25.5% of the total seat offering.
Miami has the most Brazilian arrivals and departures in the US, with 86 of the 322 weekly flights, or about 26.7% of the total market. Miami is connected to Brazil by three airlines, LATAM Brasil, American Airlines, and GOL.
Miami is connected to four Brazilian cities as Azul has opted to operate at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport, Fortaleza, Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro (Galeão), and São Paulo (Guarulhos).
Though nine Brazilian cities are served from the US, São Paulo-Guarulhos has the largest number of flights as it is one of Latin America’s busiest airports. Two hundred and sixteen US flights are scheduled to and from Guarulhos in October, up to 16 daily in each direction. The rest of the flights are divided between Campinas (Viracopos), Belo Horizonte, Recife, Manaus, Belem, and the other cities mentioned above.
The busiest route is from São Paulo to Miami, served by LATAM Brasil and American, with four daily flights in each direction in October. São Paulo to New York City (JFK) is served once daily by LATAM Brasil, American, and Delta, totaling three daily flights. São Paulo – Atlanta is the third-busiest route with two daily Delta flights.
With so many options, traveling between the largest South America country and the U.S. has not never been so easy.
