Gol Linhas (GOL) Traffic And Load Factor Plummet In May

With the COVID-19 outbreak affecting air-travel demand severely, Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes’ GOL did not operate its international flights during May. Its total monthly traffic, measured in revenue passenger kilometers (RPK), tanked 93.7% on a year-over-year basis.

With Gol Linhas lowering capacity in response to dwindling demand, total monthly capacity (measured in available seat miles) contracted 93.1%
Moreover, consolidated load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) fell to 74.8% from 82.1% a year ago. Load factor declined as the fall in traffic was more than capacity contraction.

Gol Linhas’ total monthly departures plunged 93% and seats declined 93.6%.

However, with air-travel demand improving on the domestic front (domestic demand rose 5% in May compared with April),  the company boosted its network to operate 70 flights per day for May, primarily to cope with the increased flight frequencies at the Brasília and Rio de Janeiro airports. Moreover, Gol reinitiated flights for São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Paraná airports.

Additionally, supply in May increased 12.1% on a month-on-month basis.
