Read MoreHide Full Article
Owing to coronavirus-induced weakness in air-travel demand, Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes’ traffic, measured in revenue passenger kilometers, plunged 43.8% year over year in November.
With travel demand falling far below the year-ago levels, the company reduced capacity significantly. In November, capacity measured in available seat kilometers, contracted 46.3%. However, with traffic declining less than the amount of capacity contraction, load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) inched up 3.7 percentage points year over year. Gol Linhas’ total monthly departures slumped 49.1% and seats tanked 49.9%.
Due to pandemic woes, shares of Gol Linhas have dropped 41.1% in the year-to-date period compared with the industry’s 24.2% decline.
Although air-travel demand is well below 2019 levels, its gradual improvement is evident from increased demand for flights operated by Gol Linhas. Demand in the domestic market increased 5% in November from October levels. Meanwhile, supply contracted 3% in November month over month. The Latin America-based airline did not operate international flights during the month of November.
