GOL and Qatar Airways sign codeshare

GOL and Qatar Airways signed (06-Jan-2011) a codeshare agreement. Under the agreement, Qatar Airways will add its code to GOL services departing from Sao Paulo to 48 Brazilian destinations. The agreement means Qatar Airways, which operates to Sao Paulo from Doha, will be able to distribute its customers throughout GOL's routes network with multiple connection options.
