Message for U.S. Citizens: Commercial Flight Options Departing Brazil as of March 24, 2020
Per the State Department’s Global Level Four Health Alert, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.
The U.S. Embassy in Brasilia would like to inform U.S. citizens in Brazil that some regularly scheduled commercial flight options remain available departing Brazil for the United States but we expect this number to decrease. U.S. citizens who wish to return to the United States are urged to do so as soon as possible as the travel situation is evolving rapidly and flight availability is subject to change. Domestic flight schedules within Brazil are also being reduced significantly, and U.S. citizens currently outside of the international gateways identified below should also monitor their ability to obtain a connecting flight by consulting the website of their nearest airport.
Please see below the remaining available commercial flights to the United States that the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia is aware of as of March 24 at 5 p.m. (Note: all flights subject to change.
