Gol filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in US"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Brazilian airline <strong>Gol <\/strong>reported Thursday that it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States, with a $950 million financial commitment from its holding company Abra Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abra also controls the airline Avianca, although both operate separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision was somewhat expected after media reports earlier this month that Gol was considering action, even as the company maintained that it was seeking a &#8220;consensual&#8221; restructuring in talks with creditors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a

2024<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gol said it will use the bankruptcy protection to &#8220;restructure its finances and strengthen long-term business operations, while continuing to operate normally.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts and rating agencies say Gol has solid operating figures in a context of strong demand for air transport in Brazil, but that high lease and interest expenses have been pressuring its cash flow and negatively affecting its debt profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has also faced capacity problems due to delays in Boeing aircraft deliveries, which according to Gol&#8217;s CEO are preventing it from growing at the pace it would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gol had a 33% market share in Brazil&#8217;s aviation sector last year, second only to LATAM Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/aerospace-defense\/brazil-carrier-gol-files-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection-2024-01-25\/\"
