More frequencies to Brasília and gradual growth in flights: see how the air network planned for August at Florianópolis airport looks like

28 July 2020

The air network scheduled for the month of August, to be operated in Florianopolis International Airport, indicates a growth of 46% in the number of flights, when compared to the movement registered in July.

The positive variation follows the upward trend observed month by month, during the coronavirus pandemic, with the gradual and safe resumption of aviation, ranging from 43% to 50%, when considering the months of April to July 2020. The total of flights scheduled for August is 728, against 498 in July. The concessionaire emphasizes, however, that the data vary according to passenger demand and it is natural to change throughout the month.

In August, the airline Latam returns to operate the Florianópolis - Brasília route, with 7 weekly flights between arrivals and departures, and in addition to this, it presents an increase in the frequency of flights on the Florianópolis - Guarulhos route. Another highlight for the month is the increase in the Florianópolis - Viracopos route (in Campinas), operated by Azul, which jumps from 20 weekly flights in July to 24 weekly flights in August – practically the number of pre-pandemic frequencies for the period.

The average number of flights per day for August is 24, with Mondays and Fridays being the busiest days, with 29 flights.

Despite the gradual growth, August is far from signifying a return to pre-pandemic parameters of the coronavirus. The number of planned operations corresponds to 32%, when compared to August 2019.
