GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A., Brazil`s low-fare, low-cost airline, announced a code-share agreement with Copa Airlines. The Company expects operations to begin on August 24, with sales scheduled to begin on August 19. The partnership aims at offering more flights and connection options between Brazil and Panama, including several points across the Americas, through the Hub of the Americas, a direct flight distribution center located at Tocumen International Airport (Panama), which serves 30 destinations in 20 countries.
The first phase of the agreement will connect GOL flights from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo with Copa Airlines flights, from Sao Paulo (Brazil) to Hub of the Americas (Panama). Additional phases will increase the number of cities in Brazil served by the code-share.
This agreement allows GOL to begin offering flights from Brazil to Panama, including connections with Copa flights to several destinations from the Panamanian city. A passenger traveling to Brazil on one of Copa`s flights will have the option of connecting from Guarulhos airport (Sao Paulo) and Galeao (Rio de Janeiro) to all cities served by GOL. The agreement promises to strengthen commercial and tourist relations between the two countries, says Wilson Maciel, GOL`s Planning and IT Vice-President.
