It's a pleasure being writing and showing our news.
(Special thanks to Maverick) - Thank you so much for your attetion.
In the past week was released the financial results of GOL Airlines.
The company have been profitable since the FULL UNION between GOL and Varig, this union allowed the changes to get profitable again. The company gets 61.4 Million USD of profit last quarter. It means that the Airline was sucessfull and now have a oportunity to grow up.
The profit came in a excelent moment, passing through a hangar construction at SBCF (Tancredo Neves International Airport) and re-starting the Boeing 767 operations the cost grows, these profit allows the airline to continue investing in your expansion.
Next post: Fuel 'hedge' was a bad idea.
Thanks

The Brazilian Air Force is buying 36 jet fighters.
The purchase project, called F-X2, has 2,4 Bi dollars in its budget and is entering into its final phase, when all Factories shows the best offer trying to win, the project was started in 2001 but due technical problems the government closed the project.
In early 2007 the project was re-started in full power, the air force have been working hard since the re-start to get it done as soon as possible.
Nowadays the Brazilian air force has 720 aircrafts of them almost 36% are unable to flight that is why the F-X2 project was re-started.
A fierce dispute involves the manufacturers and the governments of the United States, France and Sweden who promote, respectively, their models Boeing F/A-18-E/F Hornet, Dassault Rafale F3 and Gripen NG.

Well I’d like to see some F/A 18 Super Hornet flying in our skies but I still thinking that we need more aircrafts, nowadays we have the following fleet:
A1 (AM-X)
A-29 SUPER TUCANO
F-5 TIGER II
MIRAGE F2000
I’m waiting to see which plane will win.
Thank you and have a nice week
