SAO PAULO, Brazil, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL and Bovespa: GOLL4), the parent company of Brazil's low-cost airlines GOL Transportes Aereos S.A. and VRG Linhas Aereas S.A., announces an interline agreement between VRG and Air France. Effective in October, passengers on both airlines can purchase tickets to all destinations served by VRG and Air France.
"This agreement will provide our passengers with additional options for flights outside of VRG's current route network as we continue expanding our service to major cities not served by the Company," says Lincoln Amano, VRG's Commercial Director. In addition to offering passengers the added convenience of having their luggage checked through to their final destination, these interline agreements also simplify ticket purchases through global travel agents or VRG's call centers.
Since September 17, VRG has participated in MITA (Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement), an IATA network of airlines from around the world. All MITA members have the option to enter interline agreements with other member airlines.
Passengers traveling under the Smiles frequent flier program can only accumulate miles on flights operated by VRG.
