superior to its supply reduction, due to the greater attractiveness of high value clients, mainly business passengers, who are less price elastic. This evolution can be seen below:

Domestic PRASK & ASK – Annual Variation

 

              International Market

International supply presented an increase of 32.3% in November over the same month in 2012, driven by the introduction of flights to Santo Domingo, Miami and Orlando that began in December/12, while demand grew by 46.9%. Load factor reached 67.6%, which represents an increase of 6.7 percentage points over the same period in 2012.  

              Focus on the Client

On the client side, in December GOL reformulated its website, seeking to make the purchase process even easier and more agile. Now the client can filter his search by price, check the flight status and register his more frequent travel companions as favorites. Additionally, clients who purchase their flights with less than 7 days before departure will have their check-in done automatically. In this way, on the day of the trip, they can go directly to the boarding room or to the exclusive baggage drop counters, improving even more their flight experience.
