Gol and Azul End Merger Talks and Scrap Codeshare Agreement

Both airlines said tickets issued under the now-ended partnership will be honored.

Overview

  • Abra Group, Gol’s controller, formally notified Azul that discussions about combining the companies have been terminated, according to official disclosures.
  • The carriers rescinded their May 2024 codeshare that linked their domestic networks and loyalty programs in Brazil.
  • Gol cited the lack of meaningful progress since a January 15, 2025 memorandum of understanding and changes in conditions since that filing.
  • Negotiations had contemplated creating a corporation without a defined controller, with a nine-member board split among Abra, Azul, and independent directors.
  • Both companies emphasized customer continuity, confirming that tickets sold through the partnership will be respected.
