In just nine years GOL has increased its fleet from 6 to 108 aircraft, establishing itself as one of the fastest growing low-cost, low-fare airlines in the world. The company currently offers the most extensive and convenient routes in South America: there are about 860 daily flights to 61 destinations in ten countries. Combined with over 30 operational partnerships with foreign companies, GOL's route network is among the best serving customers traveling to, from and within Brazil.

A large portion of the company's clients are flying for the first time: since GOL's fares are often competitive with bus fare, every year more Brazilians and South Americans gain access to flying - statistically the fastest, most convenient an safest mode of travel.

GOL's business model is based on structures, systems and controls that enhance the quality of the service, high technology, safety and standardization of the fleet, as well as the motivation and productivity of its team. With a constant focus on reducing costs, the company's strategy is based on profitable growth through a low-cost and high quality structure for providing service to clients. Through this business model, GOL revolutionized the Brazilian airline industry and became a benchmark in the international market.

The company's Next Generation Boeing 737-700 and 737-800, equipped with winglets - a technology that helps keep operating costs even lower - are a fundamental part of GOL's strategy to make air travel affordable in South America. With a new and modern fleet, comprised of the safest and most comfortable aircraft in the class, GOL's operations are differentiated by reduced maintenance costs and low fuel consumption, which provides the company high use and efficiency rates.

In accordance with its corporate objectives, GOL once again revolutionized Brazilian aviation when it acquired VRG Linhas Aéreas, operating the VARIG brand, on March 28, 2007. The acquisition was one of the most important steps in GOL's history: it allowed the company to expand its market coverage and operating capacity, offering differentiated services to strategic destinations with high volumes of business passengers.

Looking ahead, GOL continues to evaluate opportunities to expand its operations, launching new flights in the domestic market and in other high traffic international centers, in South American and the Caribbean.

GOL is aware of the importance of its role as an agent of social transformation. Therefore, the company supports projects related to social assistance, education, entrepreneurship, social inclusion and health, which include the basic premises for the development of the country. Concerned with implementing practices that minimize the impact to the planet, GOL developed several programs that prioritize the conscientious use of natural resources and consequently reduce the company's impact on the environment. One example is the Passando Limpo project, which uses an intelligent method for washing aircraft; this dry method allows GOL to use only 10% of the water it previously used in washing an aircraft. Through the Colaborador Cidadão project, the company encourages voluntary work as a way for employees to practice their roles as citizens and develop a proactive attitude towards social issues.
