GOL Receives Approval from ANAC for the Acquisition of VRG

Sao Paulo, April 4, 2007 GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes (NYSE: GOL and Bovespa: GOLL4), Brazil’s low-cost, low-fare airline, yesterday received approval from the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) to complete the transfer of VRG to GTI S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes. With this authorization, GOL will begin executing the plan developed for VRG, which will operate with its own brand (VARIG) and differentiated services, while incorporating the low-cost business model from GOL Transportes Aéreos S.A.

“The Anac’s authorization allows us to move forward with the acquisition of VRG and the implementation of our efficient low-cost, low-fare model,” says GOL’s Chief Executive Officer, Constantino de Oliveira Junior. “VARIG will incorporate modern concepts of efficient administration and reduce operating costs to become a competitive company, which we believe will benefit the customer.”
