Gol to suspend flights to Miami, Orlando and Punta Cana in 2027
Brazilian airline Gol will suspend flights to Miami, Orlando and Punta Cana from February 2027.
The affected routes include flights to Miami and Orlando from Brasília, Fortaleza and Belém, and a route from São Paulo’s Guarulhos airport to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
Gol says it is changing its network because aviation fuel has doubled in price.
Fuel now accounts for about 40% of the airline’s operating costs.
The airline says it will still offer ways to travel through connecting flights or partner airlines.
The changes matter to passengers who use the suspended routes, who may need to connect or choose another airline.
Gol says its network planning is ongoing, but the suspensions are scheduled for February 2027.
Gol will suspend flights from Brasília, Fortaleza and Belém to Miami and Orlando from February 2027.
The airline will also suspend its Guarulhos–Punta Cana route from that month.
Gol said aviation fuel has doubled in price and accounts for about 40% of its operating costs.
The company said it is adjusting routes and will offer passengers connecting flights or options through airline partners.
