Latam puts an end to negotiations and gives up buying planes from GOL

The airline Latam ended the negotiations and gave up on purchasing the 737 planes, from Boeing, from GOL Linhas Aéreas, which is facing a judicial recovery process in the USA. The information is from the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.

Latam informed that purchasing the aircraft would be beneficial to GOL Linhas Aéreas. According to the Brazilian company, it would reduce return costs and bring larger planes to the Brazilian market.

According to the website Aero, Latam contacted GOL through the company’s financial consultant, Seabury Capital. However, the airline did not enthusiastically welcome the purchase proposal.

Latam said it will look for other aircraft alternatives as the “shortage of available B737 aircraft, as well as the refusal of debtors to cooperate”.

The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), the air transport regulatory agency in the United States, prohibited Boeing, the manufacturer of the planes that Latam wants to buy, from expanding production of the aircraft after an Alaska Airlines plane crash. , which took off from Portland, Oregon.
