Gol Linhas Aéreas has announced plans to reduce or suspend several flight routes starting in February 2027. The airline cited a doubling in the price of aviation kerosene (QAV), which now accounts for approximately 40% of the company’s operational costs.

Specific routes identified for suspension include Campina Grande to Salvador, Salvador to Aracaju, Fortaleza to Foz do Iguaçu, and Rio de Janeiro (Galeão) to Ilhéus. To assist travelers, the airline is offering alternatives such as connecting flights or utilizing its more than 60 codeshare and interline agreements. Passengers may request rescheduling, credit, or refunds depending on their original booking method.
