The Boeing Company is honored that Brazil's GOL Linhas Aereas S.A., the parent company of Brazil's low-cost airlines GOL Transportes Aereos S.A. and VRG Linhas Aereas S.A., Latin America's largest 737 operator, has announced selection of the Next-Generation 737 as a key element of its fleet renewal.

"GOL has garnered international attention by consistently posting profits since beginning operations, and the 737 has been a large part of that success," said John Wojick, Boeing's vice president of sales for Latin America and the Caribbean. "The Next-Generation 737 enables GOL to continue providing passengers reliable, on-time performance while benefiting from the airplane's reliability and fast airport turnaround times."

Boeing looks forward to concluding financial and contractual details of the GOL selection.
