GOL Linhas Aéreas announced new non-stop flights between Rio de Janeiro's RIOgaleão International Airport (GIG) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) at France, and Lisbon Airport (LIS) in Portugal. This is the first time the company ever operates direct flights to Europe since its foundation in 2001. Flights to Lisbon and France will be conducted by an Airbus A330, a twin-aisle aircraft accommodating nearly 300 passengers.
Lisbon flights are set to operate four times a week on a round-trip basis, starting September 16. Flight details to Paris will be announced soon. Passengers on the flights between Rio to Europe can experience GOL's newest Business INSIGNIA class, offering a premium travel experience.
INSIGNIA amenities include fully flat beds, premium amenity kits and access to exclusive lounges across selected airports. The onboard cuisine offers a unique experience, featuring a menu designed by two-Michelin-starred Brazilian chef Felipe Bronze. The three-course lunch and dinner service showcases Bronze's creative take on traditional Brazilian techniques and ingredients.
