GOL, Delta Air Lines File Request for Codeshare Agreement

A GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. said that it has filed with Delta Air Lines a request for authorization to implement a codeshare agreement with Brazilian and U.S. authorities. The codeshare will initially allow Delta to assign its code to more than 45 GOL flights departing from Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to other Brazilian destinations, as well as two GOL flights between Brazil and Paraguay and Uruguay, pending government approval.

Beginning in June, registered frequent fliers from both airlines can earn miles on both GOL’s SMILES and Delta’s SkyMiles programs on eligible flights. Mile redemption is scheduled to begin this fall.
