Air France-KLM strikes commercial deal with Brazil's GOL
Air-France-KLM and Brazil's second biggest airline, GOL, have begun a commercial partnership that paves the way for future code-shares and possible integration of the companies' mileage programmes.

AFP - Brazil's low-cost airline GOL and premier European air transport venture Air France-KLM have begun a commercial partnership that lays the groundwork for future code-shares, the companies said Friday.

The agreement will also allow for the integration of Brazil's second biggest airline GOL and Air France-KLM's mileage programs, they said in a statement.
