(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

PRASK, Yield and Fuel Prices
Net PRASK presented a 24% growth over August/12, even
with a supply reduction of 7.6% in the domestic market in the
period. The additional supply reduction announced at the end of
June contributed to this expressive PRASK growth on an annual
comparison. This is the 17th consecutive monthly PRASK
increase, a result of the Company's focus on maximizing the
profitability of its supply.
Net yield in August posted a 33% increase year-over-year,
registering between R$24.0 and R$24.5
cents. GOL maintained its strategy of always improving the
attractiveness of its product for passengers who present a
differentiated profile in terms of the consumption frequency and
standard.
Fuel prices* moved up by 9% in the month
when compared to August/12, driven by the continuous depreciation
of the Real against the Dollar in the last months comprising the
jet fuel price formation period, which carries a time lag. For the
next months, the tendency is of further price hikes.
(*) Fuel price per liter considers total fuel and lubricant
expenses divided by period consumption

domestic market when compared to August/12.
