It’s an interesting time for aviation in South America, on a variety of levels. Here’s the latest example of that, as Brazilian carrier GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes intends to start flying wide body planes.
GOL’s controlling shareholder is Abra Group, and it’s part of the company’s strategy to expand its aviation portfolio across Latin America. The company also owns Avianca, and has a stake in Wamos Air, among other carriers.
Now, it’s noted that Abra Group is maintaining the flexibility to place these aircraft with other airlines, based on market opportunities and financial considerations. So in theory the planes could also end up at Avianca, though the intent is for these planes to fly for GOL.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
