Abra Group, which is the owner of Avianca, GOL and Wamos Air, has announced it has increased its commitments for additional Airbus A320neo-family aircraft and secured a new lease-agreement for A330-900s.
With Airbus, the Group decided to firm options for another 50 A320neo-family aircraft, taking its total number of aircraft on order to 138. All of these should be delivered by 2032.
Abra also signed a lease-agreement with Avolon for seven A330-900s. Interestingly, the lease-agreement was signed by GOL, but an Abra Group statement says that the exact deployment of its new widebodies on order will be decided closer to delivery in 2026.
However, internal GOL-posts shared on X points into the direction that GOL will indeed operate them.
Apart from these new orders the Group also holds open orders for four A350-900s and 96 more Boeing B737MAXs.
The increase of orders is part of Abra Group's effort to expand and go more head-to-head with LATAM Airlines, the biggest carrier of the continent. Part of that plan is also launching a subsidiary in Chile in the coming years.
In January of this year, the Abra Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Azul to merge GOL and Azul but this MoU has been terminated in September 2025, because Azul was still not done with its restructuring and progress was lacking.
