American Airlines plans to purchase a minority stake in Brazil based Gol and they will strengthen their existing collaboration.

Gol’s main base is Brazil but flies throughout South America.

It operates more than 100 Being single aisle jets in Central and South America, as well as flying to Miami and Orlando.

"Our long-haul network marries seamlessly with Gol’s strong domestic network in Brazil. Together, we will be able to offer customers flying to, through and from Brazil, access to the largest network," said American Airlines President Robert Isom.

American flies to 17 destinations in South America.
