On June 26, officials from Miami International Airport, Brazilian carrier GOL, and the Brazilian government hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the launch of GOL's new flights between MIA and Belém, the capital of Pará, Brazil. The event included a traditional Brazilian dance performance and refreshments for passengers departing to Belém. GOL now provides service from MIA to Belém, Brasilia, Fortaleza, and Manaus.
The two weekly flights provide the first service between MIA and the gateway to Brazil's Amazon rainforest since 2020. The new service will also provide travelers with a direct connection to the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) on November 10-21, 2025, in Belém. The COP is the largest global event for discussions and negotiations on climate change, and Belém will host the 30th COP (COP30).
Miami International Airport, America's busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investmentof $9 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $118 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
