Delta Air Lines plans to launch new non-stop flights between Orlando, Florida, and Sao Paulo, Brazil beginning later this year.
The airline has filed for regulatory approval for four flights a week which would commence on December 19.
The evening flights will be operated by 210-seat Boeing 767-300 aircraft.
Delta also said its existing strategic alliance with Brazilian carrier GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes will offer passengers seamless onward connections at Sao Paulo to a further 20 domestic destinations.
"It is exciting to have the opportunity to offer a direct flight four times per week and to offer customers the reach of GOL’s network with 600 weekly codeshare flights to Brazil’s interior," said Nicolas Ferri, Delta’s vice president for Latin America and the Caribbean.
"Delta’s continued expansion of routes important to Latin American customers demonstrates our commitment to the region."
