GOL’s 2006 Perpetual Bond Offering Named LATAM Deal of the
Year by AirFinance Journal

Sao Paulo, April 24, 2007 – GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes (NYSE: GOL and Bovespa: GOLL4), Brazil’s low-cost, low-fare airline, was awarded the Latin American “Deal of the Year” for its 2006 perpetual bond offering. GOL received the award at last night’s awards dinner held at The Pierre Hotel in New York City.

The offering raised US200 million in capital, which will be used to partially finance a portion of the Company’s cash payments related to its fleet expansion plan. “While our fleet has already grown significantly since GOL first began operations in 2001, additional aircraft will serve the high-demand for GOL’s services across all of our markets,” commented Richard Lark, GOL’s CFO, from Sao Paulo.

Airfinance Journal is the leading financial magazine serving the commercial aviation industry. The Deal of the Year awards, in their eighth year, recognize the most significant deals that combine innovation, structuring skill and great execution. "GOL has enjoyed a fantastic year and is going from strength to strength in the Latin American market,” says Janet Du Chenne, editor, AirFinance Journal. “The recent acquisition of Varig, healthy net incomes and a growing market share shows that GOL is destined for more success in the years ahead."

“We are extremely proud that our perpetual bond offering was named the Latin America Deal of the Year,” adds Lark. “GOL remains focused on expanding our route network and fleet through smart financial decisions and offerings, ensuring our costs remain low and our passengers are offered the lowest fares in the marketplace.”
