Qatar Airways will start codesharing on flights to destinations in Brazil with GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes.
Under the agreement, Qatar Airways will add its QR airline code to GOL flights between Sao Paulo and 47 Brazilian airports, including Campo Grande and Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont.
The middle eastern airline currently operates daily flights between its Doha hub and the Brazilian capital – Sao Paulo was Qatar Airways’ first South American destination, launched six months ago.
A start date for the code share has yet to be announced, pending the approval of Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency and the Brazilian Antitrust Agency.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said: “We are delighted to extend our reach even further across Brazil, South America’s largest country, through this exciting partnership with GOL and provide passengers with seamless travel options.”
