GOL Launches Flights to Santa Cruz de La Sierra
SAO PAULO, Brazil, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, Brazil's low-cost, low-fare airline, today began operating flights four times per week to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia (population 8.8 million). Santa Cruz is GOL's second international destination; expansion to Bolivia is in line with the Company's plans to popularize air transportation in South America.
The new flight connects Campo Grande (Mato Grosso do Sul - Brazil) and Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia) in both directions.
Bolivia is the fourth most frequented South American destination by Brazilians flying to neighboring countries. Approximately 150,000 passengers flew between Brazil and Bolivia in 2003. "Santa Cruz de la Sierra is our second international destination. We are certain that GOL's business model will be well received in Bolivia, as we offer high quality service and modern- edge technology at the lowest fares in the market," says Tarcisio Gargioni, vice-president of Marketing and Services at GOL.
