Brazil’s Gol To Acquire ATR Operator MAP
Now Brazil’s number-two airline, Gol will gain 26 slots at Congonhas Sao Paulo Airport with its purchase of MAP.

Brazilian airline Gol has agreed to purchase ATR turboprop operator MAP from Voepass, which had itself acquired the Amazon regional carrier in 2019. Gol affirmed in a note that it would substitute the carrier’s three ATR 72s and five ATR 42s with “larger and more efficient aircraft,” namely Boeing 737-700s, 23 of which the airline now operates, and a model “that may be substituted by an even more efficient aircraft in the future.” Gol will also gain MAP’s 26 valuable Congonhas Sao Paulo Airport slots, increasing by about 10 percent its participation at that profitable airport.
