About
GOL Linhas Aereas is Brazil's largest domestic airline by passengers carried, with approximately 35% of the Brazilian domestic market. Founded in 2001, GOL pioneered the low-cost carrier model in Brazil and revolutionized air travel accessibility in the country. The airline is headquartered in Sao Paulo and operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet of over 140 aircraft.
GOL serves approximately 70 destinations across Brazil and international routes to South America, the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. The airline operates over 700 daily flights, making it the most frequent domestic operator in Brazil. While not a member of any global airline alliance, GOL has a strategic codeshare partnership with American Airlines, allowing connections between Brazilian and US destinations.
GOL's loyalty program, Smiles, operates as a separate publicly traded company and is one of Brazil's largest frequent flyer programs with over 20 million members.
