GOL Linhas Aéreas launched new nonstop service between Rio de Janeiro (GIG) and New York (JFK), marking the airline's first long-haul international route. The service began with inaugural flights on July 8 (GIG–JFK) and July 9 (JFK–GIG), accompanied by ribbon-cutting ceremonies at both airports. Operating three times weekly aboard the Airbus A330, the new service connects U.S. travelers to Brazil while providing seamless access to one of the country's most extensive networks.
Celso Ferrer, CEO of GOL commented: "This is an invitation for travelers to experience Brazil from the moment they board our aircraft."
Designed for long-haul travel, Business INSIGNIA by GOL, features lie-flat seats, premium dining and a menu by Michelin-starred Brazilian Chef Felipe Bronze, crafted around regional Brazilian flavors.
Beyond Rio, the new service opens the door to destinations across Brazil through GOL's extensive domestic network, including São Paulo and dozens of additional cities. Customers also benefit from GOL's partnership with American Airlines, allowing them to earn and redeem AAdvantage® miles on connecting flights throughout North and South America.
The new operation expands GOLLOG's cargo capabilities, with a larger cargo capacity between Brazil and the United States through its partnership with Avianca Cargo under Abra Group.
Flights operate from Rio on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with return service from New York on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
