GOL, AeroMexico Sign Codeshare Agreement
GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. and AeroMexico announce that the companies have signed a codeshare agreement. The companies are also evaluating the possibility of linking their frequent flyer programs, GOL’s SMILES and Aeromexico’s Club Premier.
Under the code-share agreement, AeroMexico will add its IATA code to GOL flights from Sao Paulo to six Brazilian destinations: Rio de Janeiro (RJ-Galeao and Santos Dumont airports), Belo Horizonte (MG), Porto Alegre (RS), Curitiba (PR), Brasilia (DF) and Salvador (BA).
The Mexican company will benefit its clients with more flight connection options throughout Brazil, while representing an additional sales channel, increasing passenger traffic and load factor for the Brazilian carrier.
In compliance with standard regulation requirements, GOL will submit the contract to Agencia Nacional de Aviacao Civil (ANAC), the Brazilian aviation authority, and to Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica (CADE), the antitrust counsel, for their evaluation before implementing the agreement.
