New Brazilian flights to benefit investors
Saturday, September 20, 2008
The carrier will offer passage on week days, further opening up the destination to leisure travelers and business people. This is Copa airline's fourth destination in Brazil, with the others being located in Rio de Janiero, Sao Paulo and Manaus. Pedro Heilbron, chief executive officer, Copa Airlines has stated that there has been huge demand from passengers for additional scheduled services to Brazil and it would also be expanding its operations in Latin America.
Belo Horizonte will be likely to attract more visitors and boost the local tourism industry as a result of the new flights, since it is already a "favoured destination" among holidaymakers. The increased interest in the region could result in a surge of tourism which could potentially impact on demand for temporary lodgings in these areas, a development which may be of interest to rental investors.
Meanwhile, ANBA has reported that the number of passengers flying on Brazilian operated flights increased by 40 per cent during the first half of the year according to figures from the nation's Civil Aviation Agency (Anac).
