|
São Paulo, October 27, 2015 - GOL Linhas Aéreas 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 its preliminary air traffic figures for September, third quarter (3Q15) and year to date (9M15).

GOL Highlights
Domestic supply recorded a decline of 2.7% in September and increases of 0.6% in 3Q15 and 1.6% in 9M15. The increase in 3Q15 over 3Q14 reflects the adjustment made by the Company in 3Q14, when reduced its capacity during the FIFA World Cup held in Brazil.
Domestic demand fell by 3.3% in September, leading to a load factor of 76.6%. In the quarter, demand moved up by 1.8%, with a load factor of 79.3%, recording an increase of 1.0 p.p.
In the month, the international market capacity declined by 0.2% over 2014, and demand showed an improvement of 2.8%, registering a load factor of 73.4%. The Company is adjusting its international network by changing frequency and rerouting flights to new destinations in order to capture market opportunities and adapt to the current economic scenario in Brazil.
In 3Q15, net PRASK fell by 1.6% and yield dropped by 3.0% in relation to 3Q14, reflecting the economic slowdown.
Jet fuel was between R$2.11 and R$2.16 per liter in 3Q15, a decline of approximately 14% in relation to 2014. The per-liter fuel price in Reais in the quarter was partially benefited from the fall in international prices of 48.5%, however it was adversely impacted by the average depreciation of 55.5% of the Real against the Dollar in the period, besides the 45-day delay in jet fuel price formation due to the criterion of fuel pricing in Brazil.
