Azul and GOL airlines have announced a commercial cooperation agreement to connect their flight networks in Brazil through a codeshare arrangement. This partnership covers all domestic routes operated exclusively by either airline, meaning routes are operated by one of the two companies but not the other.
The agreement also includes frequent flyer programmes, allowing Azul Fidelidade and Smiles members to earn points in their preferred programme when purchasing segments included in the codeshare agreement.
This agreement will bring significant benefits to their customers. Both companies have a history of aviation development in Brazil, focused on customer service excellence. “With Azul’s highly connected network serving most cities in Brazil and GOL’s strong presence in the main Brazilian markets, our complementary offerings will provide customers with the widest range of travel options,” said Abhi Shah, President of Azul. Consumers will benefit from this commercial partnership starting at the end of June, when the offer becomes available through both companies’ sales channels.
Customers will gain access to hundreds of new domestic routes, along with more convenient connection opportunities. For example, one could travel from Brasília to Tabatinga with a brief layover in Manaus, or from Rio de Janeiro to Marabá with a stop in Belém.
