Goiania has direct flights to 10 Brazilian cities (e.g. São Paulo,
Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Brasília…) with connections to multiple
countries. Many European cities have direct flights to Brazil.
Currently we can cite Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris,
London, Rome, Milan, Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam. <br>
For example, an itinerary <b>from Tokyo </b>could follow the route
<b>Tokyo – New York – São Paulo – Goiânia</b>, while a traveler
departing <b>from Paris </b>could follow the route<b> Paris - Rio
de Janeiro - Goiânia</b>
