SANFORD, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) and Orlando-based SST Air announce the start of seasonal nonstop services to both Sao Paulo and Brasilia, Brazil beginning June 30, 2011 through August 1, 2011.

Shane Schunk, President of SST Air commented on the start of its operation from Orlando Sanford, “We are excited to launch these flights this summer and are working very hard both here and in Brazil to ensure we get this off to a strong start. Since Orlando is also home to SST Air, and as a resident of Central Florida myself, I know our customers, both Brazilian and Floridian, will love the straight forward and simple nature of flying through Orlando Sanford. It’s the ideal situation, Sanford feels like a small-town airport, but it has all the services and amenities you normally only expect from larger airports.”

According to Larry Dale, President of Orlando Sanford International Airport, the Sanford airport enthusiastically welcomes the advent of SST Air, “Our passenger base has long awaited the return of flights to South America from Sanford, and we anticipate a tremendous amount of local interest in SST’s outbound flights to Brazil.”
