Abra Group, which controls GOL and Avianca, is investing in new aircraft to expand operations in Latin America and international routes.
247 - Abra Group, which controls the airlines GOL Linhas Aéreas (B3: GOLL54) and Avianca, announced last Thursday (16) the expansion of its fleet with the addition of five Airbus A330-900neo aircraft. Through operating lease agreements with Avolon Aerospace Leasing Limited, deliveries are scheduled for 2026. The measure is part of the group's strategy to strengthen its operations both in Latin America and on long-haul international routes. The information is from the portal. Brazil Stock Guide.
In addition to the five A330neo aircraft, the group also signed a letter of intent for the acquisition of up to two additional aircraft. The allocation of the new aircraft will be determined according to the operational and financial needs of each company under Abra's control, taking into account market opportunities and the specific demands of each airline. Thus, the aircraft may be operated by any of the companies controlled by the group, with ownership and financial responsibilities assigned to the operator using the aircraft.
The Abra Group, which also has a strategic stake in Spain's Wamos Air, has been expanding its presence in the regional aviation market, promoting synergies between GOL and Avianca. The addition of the Airbus A330neo aircraft complements the group's strategy of expanding its international network, with a special focus on routes connecting South America to Europe. Furthermore, the new aircraft will be an important boost to long-haul operations, providing greater capacity and efficiency on transatlantic routes.
Although the aircraft deliveries are scheduled for 2026, the group assured that there will be no immediate financial impact on GOL or other affiliates. Investments and financial commitments depend on the fulfillment of typical leasing conditions and the delivery of the aircraft. In a further move, Abra Group announced that it intends to submit a draft registration (Form F-1) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a possible IPO of its operations with Avianca and GOL.
