Flight to second destination in South America starts May 5.
US Airways will launch a daily non-stop service to Sao Paulo, Brazil from its largest hub at Charlotte, N.C. beginning May 5, 2013. The new route is US Airways' second destination in South America and complements the airline's existing non-stop service to Rio de Janeiro from Charlotte.
US Airways will operate service to Brazil's largest city on Boeing 767-200 aircraft with seating for 18 in Envoy, US Airways' international business class, and 186 in the main cabin.
The Sao Paulo flight adds to US Airways' growing international operation at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Last month, the airline announced new service to London's Heathrow Airport and earlier in the year increased its frequency of service to Frankfurt, Germany for the busy summer travel season.
New flight:
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) – Sao Paulo-Guarulhos International Airport (GRU)
First day of operation for Charlotte-bound flight is May 6, 2013.
