Virgin Atlantic has signed a codeshare agreement with Brazilian carrier GOL ahead of the launch of its inaugural route to South America next year.

Jarvinen said Virgin was hopeful of deploying larger aircraft on the Cape Town route

Virgin’s daily Heathrow-Sao Paulo service, announced in March, will go on sale on Tuesday (10 September) with the first flight taking off on 29 March 2020.


The codeshare will allow Virgin passengers to connect seamlessly onto GOL flights serving 37 destinations across Brazil, including capital Brasilia, as well as Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Curitiba.


The new codeshare partners have pledged to extend the arrangement “in the near future” with the addition of flights to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay and a reciprocal frequent flyer programme.
