GOL Linhas Aéreas has opened sales for its direct Rio de Janeiro-Galeão to New York JFK service for the 2027 season.
The airline said the 2027 tickets are available for travel from 28 March 2027, with three weekly round trips. Departures from Rio are scheduled for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 21:55, with arrival in New York at 06:55 the following day. Departures from New York are scheduled for Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 23:00, with arrival in Rio at 09:55 the following day.
The service is being operated with Airbus A330 aircraft, which GOL has recently added for intercontinental operations. The route itself is due to begin operating on 8 July 2026, before the 2027 sales window.
Tickets for the 2027 flights are being sold through GOL’s website and app, Smiles, GOL airport stores, travel agencies and American Airlines channels. A sector source dated 26 May 2026 placed the sales announcement on that day.
The Rio-New York link marks a new phase in GOL’s international expansion and extends its first long-haul route between the two cities.
