Alagoas won another direct operation from Uruguay (Montevideo) for the month of July. The flight operated by Azul Linhas Aéreas, in partnership with operators HiperViajes and Abtour, arrives on Maceio soil on June 29th and returns on July 6th. The news was released, this Monday (29), on the official networks of Governor Paulo Dantas.
According to the Secretary of State for Tourism, Bárbara Braga, the capture of this flight was articulated in recent events with Setur’s effective participation in international markets.
“For more than 20 years we had no direct flights from the Uruguayan market, until we achieved two direct operations that were carried out during the Holy Weeks of 2023 and 2024”, he recalled.
International market
Alagoas has been emerging in markets that are not considered emitters for Alagoas, such as Argentina and Portugal. The first half of 2023 signaled a historic growth of 369% in the international flow of tourists compared to the year 2022.
In the first two months of 2024 alone, our flow of foreigners is already equivalent to 30% of the total flow in 2023, being 99% higher compared to the same period of the previous year. “These numbers illustrate that the work is on the right track”, assured Bárbara.
