Brazilian airline GOL Linhas Aereas has added a new Airbus A330-900 aircraft to its fleet.
This is the first of five due to be delivered to the airline.
The Abra Group airline said the aircraft will allow it to begin intercontinental operations connecting Brazil to destinations in Europe and the US.
Deliveries will continue in phases throughout this year and next.
“With the introduction of widebody operations, we are taking another step forward in our evolution - expanding our horizons and creating new products and services for our customers,” said GOL CEO Celso Ferrer.
The company said it will announce new routes and launch dates in the coming weeks.
The airline signed an ACMI agreement with Wamos Air, also part of the Abra Group, to quickly expand its capacity on selected routes.
