Brazil’s Gol Intelligent Airlines will serve 10 new destinations in the Amazon by partnering with air-taxi operator TwoFlex, which operates 18 Cessna Grand Caravans, Brazil’s largest fleet of the single-engine nine-passenger turboprops. Customers will be able to purchase tickets from Gol and travel to the new destinations connecting through either Belém, Manaus, or Cuiabá, eventually including a single check-in. This marks a significant expansion of Brazil’s commercial aviation network, which served only 126 cities as of 2018, especially as many of the new destinations are poorly or only seasonally served by river or road.

Ru Aquino, TwoFlex president and immediate past chairman of IBAC, said in a statement, "TwoFlex has been preparing itself for years to be the company that will provide connectivity from the country's interior to major cities and eventually to the world. All this through the partnership with Gol, in a feeder operation, based on process changes, [Brazilian civil aviation agency ] ANAC Certification for Complementary Operation [in 2017], IATA Standard Safety Assessment (ISSA) Certification to meet the international flight safety standards required by Gol, achieving a new level in the Regional Aviation market."

Gol currently operates 750 daily flights to 73 destinations with a standardized fleet of 120 Boeing 737s. Since 2016 TwoFlex, headquartered at São Paulo’s Jundiai airport, has operated flights in the “Fly Minas Gerais” program designed to increase connectivity in that southeastern state. Plans for Gol and TwoFlex to serve six new destinations in the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul have stalled on court challenges by rival airline Azul, alleging Gol was granted tax incentives during last year’s electoral quarantine period. Azul serves smaller destinations with the ATR 72-600 turboprop, in addition to Embraer regional jets and a growing fleet of Airbus 320neos and A330-200s, as it seeks to expand in the larger markets dominated by Gol and LATAM.
