VOO

Voo is the Portuguese noun meaning flight, the act of flying through the air. It is used to describe air travel and aircraft journeys, including scheduled or chartered services. The word is derived from the verb voar (to fly) and appears in phrases such as voo doméstico (domestic flight) and voo internacional (international flight). The plural form is voos and it can refer to both the event of flying and the duration of a flight.

In aviation contexts, voo denotes a specific flight or set of flights, and can be used to discuss routes, timings, or air travel logistics. The term is common in travel planning, airline schedules, and passenger information, and it interacts with related terms like aeroporto (airport) and companhia aérea (airline).
