                             PRASK, Yield, Load Factor and Fuel Prices

Net PRASK moved up by 9% year-over-year in January/14, fueled by the 5.2 percentage point increase in the load factor, which reached 77.8%. This is the highest January load factor in the last ten years. At the same time, yield sustained current levels, growing by 2% over January/13.  

January’s average jet fuel price moved up by around 9% in relation to the same period in 2013, the biggest increase in the last 9 months, due to the continuous devaluation of the Real against the Dollar in November and December, reflected in the price formation period.

     (*)The per-liter fuel price considers total gross fuel and lubricant expenses divided by estimated period consumption.

For 2014, GOL reaffirms the upper limit of its domestic market capacity increase at 0%. In January, the Company recorded a load factor of 78.2%, 4.7 percentage points higher than in the same month last year due to the 17.3% upturn in domestic demand.
