The flight that would bring more than 100 Brazilians from Suriname to land in Belém has been canceled,
according to the airline Surinam Airways (SLM).
The trip was negotiated by the Brazilian government with the company,
after a neighboring country closed the local airport due to the coronavirus.
The airline informed the passengers and alleged urgent reasons by email.
In a note, the company just apologized for the inconvenience.
The flight is part of a government effort to bring Brazilians who are prevented from returning to the country
due to the cancellation of flights resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.
The Brazilian repatriation trip from Suriname was announced last Friday (20th) by the airline.
According to the company, a flight, departing from Paramaribo at 6:45 pm on Sunday (22),
would bring more than 100 Brazilians to Belém.
The company informed that the trips were negotiated with the Federal Government.
Regarding the cancellation,
the Embassy of Brazil asked the airline to inform the reason for the cancellation
and if a new flight would take place on another date,
since the company opened its office on Saturday
to issue and purchase tickets for Brazilians wishing to travel to Belém on that flight.
SLM said it was unable to provide further information at that time, according to the embassy.
