GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. announced the conclusion of the expansion work on its Aircraft Maintenance Center, in Confins (Minas Gerais), where the company carries out heavy airframe maintenance, preventive maintenance, aircraft painting and the internal configuration of the entire GOL and VARIG combined fleet. The expansion, which began in 2008, added a hangar, offices, storage areas, support areas and an expanded ramp area to the existing maintenance facility.
GOL invested R$65 million in the expansion, which added 28,100 m2 to the already 17,500 m2 facility, raising the total area to 45,600 m2, dedicated solely to maintenance and support. The ramp, which originally measured 27,000 m2, was also expanded and now covers 47,000 m2, while the usable area within the hangars is now 107,220 m2.
