Rio-São Paulo, the most expensive flight connection in the world
In Brazil the term “ponte aérea” (air shuttle) refers to the frequent flights between the Santos Dumont airport in Rio de Janeiro and the Congonhas airport in São Paulo – both airports are located within the city boundaries.
A recent research mentioned by the Valor Econômico newspaper, based on an analysis of airfares on the route, revealed the Rio-São Paulo connection is the most expensive in the world. Second place is for Dubai-Doha while Tokyo-Sapporo takes third.
