Strategic Time Zone & Direct Air Connectivity“Invest from Europe. Operate in real time.”
✈️ Direct Air Routes from Europe to Ceará
Fortaleza the capital of Ceará is one of the few cities in South America with daily or frequent direct flights to and from Europe, including:
Lisbon (TAP Air Portugal, 6h45)
Paris (Air France, 8h40)
Frankfurt (Condor Airlines, 9h00)
Amsterdam (KLM, seasonal)
Madrid (Iberia, direct and codeshare via São Paulo or Recife)
Fortaleza's Pinto Martins International Airport is operated by Fraport AG, one of the largest airport operators in the world (based in Frankfurt), ensuring European-grade infrastructure, operational efficiency, and expansion plans aligned with global standards.
🕓 Time Zone Advantage for Business
Ceará operates on Brasília Time (BRT), which is:
4 hours behind Central European Time (CET)
3 hours behind CET during European Summer Time
This creates a sweet spot of synchronicity. While São Paulo or Buenos Aires may be out of reach for real-time calls, Ceará allows same-day communications, real-time monitoring, and low-lag interaction between headquarters and operations.
