GOL Expands GOL+ Product : 80% of its fleet will have more space between seats by May 2014

Under the new configuration, B737-800 NG aircraft will have 177 seats. Rows two to seven, on the right, and three to seven, on the left, will be identified as GOL+Conforto.

The distance between these rows will increase from 30 to 34 inches (86.3cm) and the seat recline will increase by 50%. In the other rows, the distance between seats will increase from 30 to 31 inches (78.7cm).

The B737-700 NG model will have 138 seats and the GOL+Conforto seats will be in rows one to seven on both sides. In the other rows, the distance between seats will increase from 29 to 30 inches (76.2 cm).

The decision was taken three months after the Company implemented GOL+ on the Rio-São Paulo shuttle. "The product has exceeded our expectations. During this period, demand for GOL+Conforto seats has increased by 50%.

We identified an effective satisfaction among corporate clients and holders of the SMILES Diamante card," declared Paulo Miranda, GOL's Head of Products.

With this positioning, at the end of 2014 GOL will have the highest supply of category A seats (an ANAC standard, Brazil's Civil Aviation Authority), equivalent to 42% of the market total.
