✈️ Flights from Congonhas to Rio Increase by 25
Business jet flights departing São Paulo–Congonhas Airport (SBSP) and arriving in the city of Rio de Janeiro increased across the two most recent equal-length reporting windows. According to Avi-Go data, 88 flights were completed from August 24 through September 27, 2026, compared with 63 from July 20 through August 23, 2026, based on departure time. Both windows include their start and end dates and span 35 days; each completed flight counts as one flight. The later window recorded 25 more flights, an increase of approximately 39.7%, with the daily average rising from 1.8 to approximately 2.5 flights. The figures cover only flights departing SBSP and arriving in the city of Rio de Janeiro; flights in the opposite direction are not included.
Impact: For charter brokers handling inquiries in this direction, the 88 flights provide a concrete reference for recent demand. The additional 25 flights compared with the preceding window also suggest a more targeted approach to preparing quotes: check aircraft availability for departures from SBSP and arrivals in the city of Rio de Janeiro on the relevant dates, rather than assessing all flights between the two cities together. For operators serving this route, flight volumes across the two consecutive 35-day windows can be compared with their own booking records to identify the dates on which additional trips were concentrated, instead of adjusting plans based solely on window totals.
Recommendation: Charter brokers can track inquiries and bookings separately for one-way flights departing SBSP and arriving in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and compare them week by week with the 88 flights recorded over the most recent 35 days. Quotes involving return trips should list the reverse-direction flight separately rather than combine it with these figures. Operators can continue monitoring flight volumes and their distribution by date in subsequent equal-length windows before deciding whether to adjust their quote responses or aircraft scheduling priorities for this route.
