Inteligentes today announced that they have signed an agreement to extend and enhance their commercial partnership for the next 10 years.
Under the terms of this agreement, both parties will grant each other exclusivity on routes between Europe and Brazil and enhance their
commercial cooperation. This will result in better connectivity, improved customer experience and more benefits for their respective customers.
Initially introduced in 2014 for a period
of 5 years, the commercial partnership between Air France-KLM and GOL had already been renewed in 2019. It covers over 99% of the demand
between Brazil and Europe and today one out of every five passengers traveling to Brazil with Air France and KLM connects to a GOL flight.
In total, over two million passengers have benefited from the partnership since its introduction.

France, KLM and GOL will continue investing to further improve their customers’ experience and create an even more seamless product.
Customers will benefit from an optimized network between Europe and Brazil, spanning over 80 European destinations, 45 destinations in
Brazil, and in the future, new destinations across Latin America. The agreement additionally includes expanded code-sharing, enhanced
joint sales activities, and more benefits for customers via Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue and GOL’s SMILES frequent flyer programs.
The enhanced collaboration includes an
ambitious expansion of the existing maintenance support by Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFIKLME&M) to
GOL’s CFM56 and LEAP engines.
Benjamin Smith, CEO Air France KLM, stated:
“South America, and particularly Brazil, is one of the most strategic markets for Air France-KLM. The historical partnership between
Air France-KLM and GOL has been instrumental in allowing us to provide our customers with a comprehensive and broad value proposition
in the region. Building on what we’ve already achieved, we are very pleased to extend and deepen this exclusive partnership for
10 more years. This new agreement will allow us to implement the necessary structural enhancements to ensure Air France-KLM and GOL’s
leadership position between Brazil and Europe.”
Celso Ferrer, GOL CEO: “Our partnership
with Air France-KLM has provided countless enhancements and benefits for all of our customers and is based on reciprocal trust and admiration
of both companies. We are proud to celebrate another decade of partnership, and I believe it crowns a long and successful history by including
key elements such as the credit line for engine overhauls. I reinforce that GOL is deeply committed to support and help to strengthen
the Brazil-Europe corridor, and we have no doubt Air France-KLM is the best partner to achieve that.”
