Sao Paulo – TAM (NYSE: TAM and Bovespa: TAMM4) will begin two direct flights between Rio de Janeiro and the United States. The company's passengers may fly these new routes in Executive or Economy class. "Rio de Janeiro's market is strategic for TAM. Therefore we are increasingly investing in the services we provide. The Rio de Janeiro-Miami and Rio de Janeiro-New York flights demonstrate our commitment to continued service to this public," says Paulo Castello Branco, Commercial and Planning Vice President for TAM. Boeing 767-300 Aircraft, with a seating capacity of 205 passengers, will service the routes.
This will be TAM's fourth daily flight to Miami and the company's only one with no connections or layovers to depart from the Rio de Janeiro. TAM already offers two daily flights departing from São Paulo (Guarulhos state) -- on Sundays one of them lays over in Salvador (Bahia state) on both portions of the return flight -- and another departing from Manaus. With the new route, there will be 28 regular weekly flights between Brazil and Florida. All flights offer connections.
