Iberia and GOL of Brazil

IBERIA and GOL, Brazil’s second largest airline after TAM, have signed a code-share agreement that could have significant implications for travel from the UK to South Amerca’s largest country if the BA/Spanish deal comes off.  Likewise with oneworld.  Currently, Iberia flies twice a day between Madrid and Sao Paulo and offers one flight daily between the Spanish capital and Rio de Janeiro.  Brazil is one of the most important markets for Iberia.  Under the code-share agreement, Iberia can add its code to GOL flights from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to 13 Brazilian destinations: Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Curitiba, Florianopolis, Fortaleza, Foz do Iguaçu, Goiania, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador de Bahia and Vitoria.  Varig, now part of GOL, continues to fly medium hall services from Sao Paulo to typically Caracas and Bogota operating two-class Boeing 737s. www.voegol.com.br
