GOL confirms A330-900-operations

In October 2025, Scramble reported that the Abra Group, the owner of Avianca, GOL and Wamos Air, signed a lease-agreement with Avolon for up to seven Airbus A330-900s. We also mentioned that it was expected that these would be operated by GOL Linhas Aéreas.

Now, we can confirm that this is indeed happening as GOL has announced it expects to take delivery of its first Airbus in June 2026. Initially, they will be used domestically for crew familiarization but later deployed to destinations in Europe and the US.

All seven Airbuses are no strangers to the Brazilian aviation scene as they are coming from Azul Linhas Aéreas. The aircraft involved are:

PS-WGA (1876), currently flying as PR-ANZ
PS-WGC (1895), currently flying as PR-ANY
PS-WGD (1924), currently flying as PR-ANX
PS-WGE (1934), currently flying as PR-ANW
PS-WGF (1952), currently flying as PR-ANV
PS-WGG (1901), currently PR-ANB and stored at Campinas since May 2025
PS-WGH (1903), currently PR-ANC and stored at Campinas since July 2024
To replace the capacity of the A330-900s, Azul in its turn is planning to add four former ITA Airways A330-200s to the fleet. It also has two open orders for A330-900s, which are almost ready for delivery.
