Flight Cancellations from Brazil to the U.S. and the Belém-Miami Route

On April 28, the President of the United States considered canceling flights from Brazil destined for the U.S. During a press conference in the Oval Office at the White House, Donald Trump emphasized that "Brazil has practically an outbreak" of coronavirus, referencing the rising number of confirmed cases in the country. At the time, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis also expressed concern about Brazilians potentially infected with the new coronavirus arriving in Miami.

Belém International Airport has two direct routes connecting Pará to Florida: Belém-Miami, operated by LATAM, and Belém-Fort Lauderdale, operated by Azul.

In addition to direct flights to the U.S., Belém also offers international flights to Suriname (Belém-Paramaribo, operated by Surinam Airways and Gol), French Guiana (Belém-Cayenne, operated by Azul), and Portugal (Belém-Lisbon, operated by TAP).
