Emirates airline in codeshare with Brazilian career
Filed on October 12, 2016
Emirates airline and GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes sign a new codeshare agreement.
Emirates airline and GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes have announced a new codeshare and frequent flyer programme partnership.
The codeshare partnership has been filed to the Brazilian Federal Aviation Agency. The first flights will be approved in the coming days and the partnership is expected to come into effect by the end of October or early November.
The new codeshare partnership will allow customers to purchase connecting flights on both airlines using one reservation. Passengers booking flights from multiple destinations in Brazil with GOL, including Porte Alegre, Salvador, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba and Brasilia, will be able to connect in Sao Paulo or Rio and fly with Emirates to many destinations worldwide.
"We're pleased to be enhancing our partnership with GOL and believe our new codeshare will bring enhanced connectivity and a fully integrated loyalty programme within Brazil initially, and at a later stage, throughout South America and the Caribbean," said Hubert Frach, Emirates divisional senior vice-president, commercial operations, West.
"We have invested in a partnership that provides ever-increasing benefits to our customers. It will also strengthen our presence in international markets," said Ciro Camargo, head of alliances at GOL.
Also Freighter service to Oslo
Emirates SkyCargo has launched a new weekly freighter service from Oslo to Dubai starting October 11.
The service is operated by an Emirates Skycargo Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft which has the capacity to carry just over 100 tonnes of cargo. Large and outsized shipments can also be uplifted through the aircraft's wide main deck cargo doors. The cargo capacity offered is in addition to the 175 tonnes of belly hold capacity offered on the five weekly Boeing 777-300ER passenger flights from Oslo.
