SAO PAULO, Aug. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- GOL Linhas
Aereas Inteligentes S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA: GOLL4 and NYSE: GOL),
(S&P: B, Fitch: B-, Moody's: B3), the largest low-cost and
best-fare airline in Latin
America, hereby announces a change in its 2015 guidance,
disclosed on March 30 2015.
The previous domestic supply (ASK) guidance of zero growth has
been changed to a range from zero growth and -1% in relation to the
previous year. As the Company recorded a capacity increase of 2.1%
in the first half of 2015, there should be a reduction of between
-2% and -4% in the second half.
The reduction in the domestic market supply reflects the
country's challenging economic scenario, marked by the depreciation
of the real against the dollar, inflation of more than 9.5% in the
last twelve months, with a negative impact on the population's
purchasing power, and a substantial decline in the number of
business travelers.
Since 2011, GOL has reduced its seat supply more than any other
domestic market airline in order to adjust the size of its
operations. As a result of this adjustment, its operational
efficiency ratio increased by 9.5 percentage points from 69.0% in
2011 to 78.5% in 2015.
Due to the impact of an adverse macroeconomic scenario, GOL may
revise its guidance to incorporate any developments in its
operating and financial performance, as well as any changes in
interest, FX, GDP and WTI and Brent oil price trends.
