GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL and B3: GOLL4), largest domestic airline, announces today preliminary air traffic figures for the month of April 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.
During the month of March, GOL adjusted its network in both domestic and international markets to account for the decrease in customer demand as Brazilians took responsible steps to socially distance. As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced demand, starting on Saturday, March 28, the network was reformulated to guarantee essential service to Brazilian capitals from the São Paulo International Airport in Guarulhos. This essential network operated throughout the month of April and resulted in a decrease of domestic flights of 93% and, with the exception of repatriation flights, a temporary halt of all international flights. and disciplined capacity and yield management, on top of our highly adaptable and flexible single-aircraft type fleet, allowed us to adjust flight offering in an agile and rational way.
