SAO PAULO, Aug. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GOL Linhas
Aereas Inteligentes S.A. (BM&FBOVESPA: GOLL4 and NYSE: GOL),
(S&P: B, Fitch: B-, Moody's: B3), the largest low-cost and
low-fare airline in Latin America
hereby announces its preliminary air traffic figures for
July 2013.
PRASK, Yield and Fuel Prices
Net PRASK presented an 18% growth over July/12, even with
a supply reduction of 4.8% in the domestic market in the period.
This is the highest PRASK increase of the last two years, and
demonstrates the Company's efforts in optimizing its supply and
maximizing the profitability of its routes.
Net yield in July posted a 28% increase year-over-year,
to between R$24.5 and R$25.0 cents,
in line with GOL's strategy of upgrading its services and
attracting business and leisure passengers during the winter
holidays high season.
Fuel prices* moved up by 4% in the month
when compared to July/12, driven by the depreciation of the Real
against the Dollar in the last months comprising the jet fuel price
formation period, which carries a time lag. With the recent Dollar
hike, we expect record fuel prices for the next months.
(*) Fuel price per liter considers total fuel and lubricant
expenses divided by period consumption
Domestic Market
In July, GOL maintained its strategy of optimizing domestic
supply, leading to a 4.8% reduction in the domestic
market when compared to July/12.
International Market
In July, supply moved up by 26.4%, when compared to the
same month in 2012, mainly due to the flights to Santo Domingo, Miami and Orlando launched in December/12.
