Portuguese term or phrase: cruzou a ponte aérea
I need to translate "cruzou a ponte aérea" into American English.
Sentence:
"Um famoso hotel de São Paulo cruzou a ponte aérea e se estabeleceu no Rio."

I know what it means, I just can't figure out the best way to translate it into English. For context, the "ponte aérea Rio-São Paulo" is quite famous and a very busy air shuttle, probably the busiest in Brazil.


Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
I just don't think that it makes sense to keep the reference to the air shuttle here, as it is just a metaphor. They are just conveying that they went from being a established business in São Paulo to open a branch in Rio.
