SAO PAULO (Reuters) -The parent company of Brazilian airline Gol has started talks with rival Azul to "explore opportunities," both airlines said on Monday, following media reports earlier this year that pointed to a potential merger. Azul added in a securities filing it has not signed or formalized any new agreement regarding a potential business combination with Gol, which is controlled by Latin American airline holding company Abra Group. Abra Group was formed in 2022 to combine Gol and Colombia's Avianca under a common holding company jointly controlled by the main shareholders of both firms.
Azul continues to anticipate 2024 EBITDA to be around R$6.5 billion.
Shares in Brazilian airlines Azul and Gol soared on Friday after they announced a codeshare agreement, connecting their networks and frequent flyer programs in a move that reignited speculation about a potential merger. Azul shares jumped over 10% on the announcement, while shares of Gol rose as much as 19%. Gol and Azul are respectively Brazil's second and third-largest airlines by revenue passenger kilometer, a gauge of traffic.
