โ€œWe are constantly expanding our foreign network. Following Toronto, Punta del Este and Barcelona, this is the fourth new international destination in 2015,โ€ said Claudia Sender, CEO of TAM, in a written release. โ€œThe service also reinforces our commitment to strategically promote our connectivity from Brasilia, where we recently launched non-stop flights to Orlando, in the United States, and Buenos Aires, in Argentina.โ€ The airport in Brasilia, Brazilโ€™s federal capital, features the latest infrastructure and enjoys a strategic central geographic position in Brazil, offering fast direct connections to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Porto Alegre and other cities.
