en.Wedoany.com Reported - Azul Linhas Aéreas has announced the resumption of flights between Belo Horizonte (Confins) and Parnaíba (Piauí state, PI). The route is expected to launch in November 2026, with tickets going on sale starting July 14, operating two weekly round trips in each direction.

Flights will operate on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with specific times to be announced, using Embraer 195-E2 aircraft, which can accommodate up to 136 passengers. This resumed route connects Parnaíba, the second-largest city in Piauí, with Confins Airport, one of Azul's main hubs. This new route will broaden access for passengers from Piauí to the company's domestic and international route network, while also facilitating travel for tourists to the state's coast.

The resumption of this route is part of a partnership between Azul Airlines and the Piauí state government, aimed at expanding regional air connectivity and strengthening the company's local market presence. Cesar Grandolfo, Director of Institutional Relations at Azul, stated that the resumption of flights results from a combination of demand, regional development potential, and joint efforts with the Piauí state government. Governor of Piauí, Rafael Fonteles, noted that expanding operations strengthens the state's integration with the rest of the country, boosts tourism, and opens up new business opportunities.

Currently, Azul Airlines already maintains regular operations in Teresina, the capital of Piauí, with approximately 180 monthly flights (including takeoffs and landings), offering over 30,000 seats, and a route network connecting Recife, Confins, and Viracopos. Parnaíba is considered the main economic hub of the Piauí coast and serves as the gateway to the Parnaíba Delta, one of the largest deltas in the world and the only open-sea delta in the Americas. The city is part of the "Rota das Emoções" (Route of Emotions) tourist itinerary, which also extends to Lençóis Maranhenses in Maranhão and Jericoacoara.
