On December 18, 2024, the inaugural flight ceremony took place at Guarulhos Airport (GRU) in São Paulo, marking a new chapter in the island’s tourism industry. This new connection is expected to drive an influx of tourists from Brazil to Aruba, enhancing travel and tourism prospects for both destinations.
Strengthening Ties Between Brazil and Aruba

Also present were Sanju Luidens, CMO of ATA, and Jordan Schlipken, ATA’s Latin America Director. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony underscored the importance of the new direct flight and the enhanced connectivity between Brazil and Aruba.
Aruba and Brazil: A Growing Partnership
The launch of the direct flight represents a significant milestone in strengthening the relationship between Aruba and Brazil. Not only does it offer greater convenience for Brazilian tourists to visit Aruba’s white-sand beaches and resorts, but it also brings increased exposure for Aruba’s tourism sector. This new air link promises a surge in travel and will further bolster Aruba tourism as an attractive Caribbean destination for Brazilian vacationers.
The Significance of the New Direct Flight
In Aruba, the inaugural flight event was held at Reina Beatrix Airport (AUA), where Aruba’s Prime Minister Evelyn Wever-Croes and Minister of Tourism and Public Health Danguillaume Oduber spoke about the importance of this new flight route.

The direct flight, G3 7715, departed Aruba at 10:30 PM and landed in São Paulo at 5:50 AM on December 19, 2024, marking the official start of this much-anticipated air service.
