Brazil’s GOL to Offer High-Quality Inflight Content

GOL Linhas Aereas will feature content from Brazil's major communication groups. Passengers can access the platform through their own communications devices starting in September.

Content will include news items, magazine and newspaper articles, TV shows, sports, games and music channels. It will be an on-flight entertainment platform, automatically updated on landing at nine airports: São Paulo/Congonhas, São Paulo/Guarulhos, Rio de Janeiro/Santos Dumont, Rio de Janeiro/Tom Jobim-Galeão, Belo Horizonte/Confins, Salvador, Porto Alegre, Brasília, Belém and Fortaleza.

GOL dedicated 14 months to developing the portal, which use will be free of charge. The installation of the necessary equipment in the fleet will be gradual and the system is already in place on 35 aircraft.

At first, the company will offer the product on approximately 250 daily flights, primarily on the Rio de Janeiro-São Paulo shuttle, Brazil’s busiest route. The idea is to expand the service to around 380 daily flights by the end of the year.
