GOL Linhas Aereaes SA, a Sao Paulo, Brazil-based low-cost airline, has placed an order for 43 737-800 passenger planes from Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes Group.
The order includes 15 firm orders and options for the rest. The total order would be worth about $2.7 billion at list prices, though those prices are usually discounted.
GOL begins receiving the 15 firm-ordered 737-800s between 2007 and 2009, while the options can be exercised between 2005 and 2010.
The new planes will join the 18 737-700s and four 737-800s GOL now operates profitably, continuing GOL's use of the single-type fleet model pioneered by U.S. low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines. GOL began operations in 2001.
