Gollog and Emirates SkyCargo Form Cargo Transportation Partnership

Posted on: Tuesday, 15 July 2008, 03:00 CDT

GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, the parent company of Brazilian airlines GOL Transportes Aereos and VRG Linhas Aereas, has announced that its cargo transport unit, Gollog, has signed a partnership with Emirates SkyCargo, the cargo division of Emirates Airline, to transport cargo to all destinations operated by the two companies.

Under the agreement, Gollog will use GOL Transportes Aereos (GTA) and VRG aircraft to transport cargo originating in any of the 59 destinations in Brazil and South America served by either airline and deliver it to the Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Upon arrival at Guarulhos, the cargo will be transferred to an Emirates's aircraft for shipment to Dubai, UAE. From Dubai, Emirates will then distribute the cargo to one of its more than 101 destinations in 62 countries, where it will then be delivered to its final destination.

Alternatively, cargo shipped to Sao Paulo via Emirates SkyCargo will be transferred to GTA and VRG aircraft and transported to its final destination through GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes's domestic and international route network.

Tarcisio Gargioni, vice-president of marketing and services at GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes, said: "This partnership demonstrates our team's ability to meet new market demands, in addition to providing our customers with an additional alternative. By working together, we hope to increase the commercial relations between South America, the Middle East and Asia, which will also benefit export."
