SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes (NYSE: GOL; Bovespa: GOLL4), Brazil's low-fare, low-cost airline, will begin operating direct flights from Porto Alegre in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (10.2 million inhabitants) and Florianopolis in the state of Santa Catarina (5.5 million inhabitants) to Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 16, 2005. The Company decided to offer these new routes in order to meet customer demand in the southern region of Brazil for travel to Buenos Aires.

GOL's flights to Buenos Aires, its first international destination, have been very successful since they began eight months ago, as shown by a recent customer satisfaction study.

The results also showed the public's loyalty to the brand, with more than 92 percent of respondents saying they would fly GOL again and 89 percent of respondents saying they would "definitely" recommend GOL's services to friends and family.
