Brazil’s GOL posts $74 million 1Q net profit:

-
São Paulo-based low-cost carrier GOL reported a BRL232.7 million ($74.4 million) net profit for the first quarter of 2017, down 69.3% from BRL 242.1 million in 1Q 2016.
GOL continued to rationalize operations during the Brazilian summer to meet reduced passenger traffic, which was down 739,000 passengers compared to 1Q 2016. The airline reduced the number of seats available for sale by 13% during the quarter.
GOL’s operating revenues declined 2.5% year-over-year (YOY) to BRL2.6 billion, attributable, the company said, to its reduction in capacity and concurrent optimization of aircraft utilization. GOL’s first quarter operating expenses increased 5.3% to BRL2.4 billion. The company posted an operating profit of BRL253.2 million, down 42.1% from BRL437.2 million in 1Q2016, representing an EBIT margin of 9.6%.
The company’s first-quarter net yield fell 6.5% to BRL 24.02 cents as RASK was down 0.5% to BRL 22.01 cents and CASK increased 7.4% to BRL 19.91 cents. GOL’s CASK ex- fuel rose 11.6% to BRL 13.79 cents. GOL’s fuel expenses during the quarter were down 2.8% to BRL735.8 million.

As of March 31, out of a total of 124 Boeing 737 NG aircraft (96 737-800s and 28 737-700s), GOL was operating 116 aircraft. Four of the remaining aircraft will be returned to lessors while the other four have been sub-leased to another airline. The average age of GOL’s fleet was 8.4 years at the end of the quarter. The company said it has 120 firm aircraft acquisition orders with Boeing for fleet renewal by 2027; the next GOL 737 is expected to be delivered in July 2018.

Why Malaysia?

Why Malaysia? The presence of a large number of Chinese passengers on board the doomed flight is being used to strain relations between Communist China and Malaysia, and it may contribute to a future deterioration of their relationship, resulting in increased justification of Chinese presence in the region, and maybe even future Chinese aggression. This may also help explain why a Malaysian plane was targeted, as opposed to an Indonesian plane (Indonesia is already in the hands of the Globalists, and therefore never gets any brinkmanship from Communist China, which is a creation of the Globalists).   Malaysia is probably the only country in the world whose recent leadership has openly criticized the IMF, Israel, the War on Terror and made claims that 9/11 was an Inside Job. Malaysia has a bustling economy, but the Globalists prefer plantation style economies, such as neighbouring Indonesia, which is completely under Globalist control. Since Malaysia cannot b...

March 27, 2014 - Why would   Israel   have a   plane   identical to the missing   Malaysia Airlines   plane in storage in Tel Aviv? The plane in this photo is   Boeing 777   2H6(ER) - 28416/155, an identical twin of the missing plane, which has been in   Israel   since November 2013. What are the Israelis doing with this plane in a hanger in Tel Aviv?   Could it be part of a false-flag terror plot in the making?  Where is this plane today? According to reports from plane-spotters,   Israel   has an identical   Malaysia Airlines   Boeing 777-200 in storage in   Tel Aviv   since November 2013. The only visible difference between the missing plane and the one in   Tel Aviv   would be its serial number. What do the Israelis have planned with the twin   Malaysia Airlines   plane? By using the twin aircraft they have in storage, the terror masterminds may have a...

SriLankan Airlines Flight Attendants & Ground Staff Used As Mules to Smuggle Gold

Gold smuggling racketeers have once again commenced using Flight Attendants of   SriLankan Airlines   as mules to smuggle gold into the country. A 27 year old former Mihin Lanka Flight Steward Meewala Arachchige Chanuka, who recently joined SriLankan Airlines after the airlines merged, confessed to Custom Officers when he was apprehended a few days ago, that he was promised a sum of Rs 40, 000 for carrying the 6.5 kilo grams of gold valued at Rs 35 million. This reported apprehension is now been taken very seriously by Customs Officers as in the past certain Flight Attendants of the national carrier were used as mules to assist gold smugglers in various ways to traffic gold into the country. The smuggling syndicates had previously roped in many staff by offering then hefty sums as rewards, especially those that had access to the aircraft. Several staff including Flight Attendants, Catering staff, Cleaning staff and the ramp Bus Drivers were all part of a mafia sty...
