However, travelers should stock up on patience before entering a Brazilian airport. (A new, smaller Varig flew out of bankruptcy protection, only to merge with low-cost carrier Gol.) Disruptions by air-traffic controllers and delays at domestic airports lead the president to sack the head of the civilian air agency in mid-2007, and the new chief seems to be bringing order back to the skies. The last 6 years has seen the bankruptcy of two Brazilian carriers, Transbrasil and Vasp, followed by the effective demise of the country's flagship carrier Varig. However, the Brazilian airline industry has been experiencing turbulent times of late. The decision of the GOL airline to expand its fleet size has aroused new hopes in the aviation sector and better options for the passengers.The sheer vastness of Brazil (and the absence of rail travel) makes air travel the only viable option for those who want to visit a variety of cities and regions. However, recently seeing the demand pick up again and travel restrictions easing, GOL airline has expressed its desire to fly 75 737 MAX aircraft by 2025. A year later, in April 2021, GOL airlines iterated its decision to shrink the fleet size. The travel restriction at the beginning of the pandemic led the GOL’s airline to consider shrinking its fleet size. Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic in recent years led to discussion around the fluctuating GOL’s fleet size. Over the years, GOL has made several orders for Boeing 737 MAX and continues to do so. They are 36 in total in the fleet of GOL’s airline, out of which 33 are active. 3) Boeing 737 MAXīoeing 737 MAX is the latest addition to the fleet of GOL airlines, with an average age of just 2.9 years.

According to, GOL airlines has a total of 89 which accounts for 60% of the fleet, 67 of which are active. 2) Boeing 737-800īoeing 737-800 is the best selling among all in the fleetīoeing 737-800 is the best-selling and most dominant version in the fleet of the GOL airline. The carrier has 138 passenger seats in a two-class configuration, 102 economy seats, and 36 with extra legroom. There are 21 in total in the fleet, out of which fourteen are active. These are the oldest Jets on the GOL’s fleet, with an average age of 18 years. Based on the size and capacity, the smallest among them is Boeing 737-700. And all of these are from the Boeing 737 family.
But do you know what exact variants it currently flies?Īccording to, GOL airline’s current fleet consists of 146 aircraft. During all these years, GOL Airlines has grown tremendously, accumulating a fleet of Boeing 737 carriers. 2021 was a historic year for low-cost airline GOL (Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes) as it completed two decades of its operations.
