GOL Partners With Brazilian Carrier NOAR Linhas Aereas

GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A., a major low-fare Latin American carrier, has entered into a commercial agreement with NOAR Linhas Aereas, a Brazilian regional carrier, to sell the latter’s tickets in all its sales channels.

Currently, NOAR operates flights from Monday through Friday between Recife and Caruaru; Recife and Aracaju, with a stop in Maceio; Recife and Natal, with a stop in Joao Pessoa; and flights to Aracaju with a stop in Maceio during the weekends. In addition to including Caruaru in its route network, GOL will now be offering new direct flights between destinations in the Northeast. GOL passengers connecting up with NOAR flights will only need to check-in once and their luggage will go directly to the final destination.

The partnership expands GOL’s regional network. It will start out by offering flights to Caruaru, the most populous city in the interior of Pernambuco state, said Claudia Pagnano, GOL’s market vice-president. The routes included will be available in all of GOL’s sales channels, and tickets can be purchased up to two days prior to the flight date. The agreement does not include the accumulation of SMILES mileage on NOAR flights.
