Gol Linhas Aéreas has placed Rio de Janeiro at the center of its new international strategy. In an announcement, the airline confirmed that Aeroporto Internacional Tom Jobim – Galeão, located on Ilha do Governador in the city’s North Zone, will serve as its hub for intercontinental flights. The company also unveiled four direct routes from the Marvelous City: New York and Orlando in the United States; Lisbon in Portugal; and Paris in France. This move marks a new phase for the airline, now operating long-haul routes with wide-body aircraft.
