Virgin Atlantic will launch flights between London Heathrow and São Paulo, Brazil, in 2020.
Flying daily between London Heathrow and São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport, the 11 hr 55 min flight is Virgin Atlantic’s first foray into the South American continent.
The airline will operate a Boeing 787 aircraft on the route.
The new service aims to capitalise on the fast-growing Brazilian economy, which benefits from year-round transatlantic demand.
