en.Wedoany.com Reported - Azul will resume direct flights from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to Curaçao in the Caribbean starting July 1. This operation is seasonal, running only in July, with 32 scheduled flights offering over 5,500 seats.

During the operational period, Azul is the only Brazilian airline offering direct flights to Curaçao. This route does not require a layover in the United States, so passengers do not need a U.S. visa. Initially, flights will operate twice a week. Starting July 10, frequency will increase to four weekly flights, departing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The flight departs from Belo Horizonte Airport (BH Airport) at 15:30 local time, arriving in Curaçao at 20:40. The return flight departs at 22:20, arriving in Belo Horizonte at 5:20 the following morning. The route is operated by an Airbus A320, with a maximum capacity of 174 passengers.

Beatriz Barbi, Senior Manager of Route Planning at Azul, stated that this operation aims to expand connectivity from the Minas Gerais hub. She noted that the company has arranged a special operation for Curaçao and optimized this route to fully utilize the Minas Gerais airport, one of Azul's main hubs, which receives flights from across the country, thereby expanding connection possibilities for passengers wishing to travel to the Caribbean.

Belo Horizonte Airport emphasized that the increased flights strengthen its role as an international transit point. Rodrigo Côrtes, Operations Director, stated that the addition of flights to Curaçao is a development for Minas Gerais, and this operation reinforces the airport's role as a gateway to Caribbean leisure destinations from Brazil, expanding direct flight options for passengers.

Curaçao is a tourist destination in the Caribbean, accessible via direct flights from Brazil during the peak season. The island is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and lies outside the main hurricane belt.
