During the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, held in Brazil, GOL operated 28,000 commercial flights, transported 3.4 million passengers and achieved its highest ever load factor, which averaged 81.2% between June 12 and July 14. Customer satisfaction, measured by an SMS survey, also reached the record level of 8.16 on a scale of 1 to 10, thanks to the total dedication of our Team of Eagles.
The Domestic Load Factor in 2Q14 and 6M14 came to 76.0% and 76.4%, respectively, both period records.
The new Load Factor level, together with the continuing upturn in yield, which increased by close to 15% in 2Q14, fueled PRASK, which climbed by approximately 27% in year-over-year, underlining the Company’s new level of execution.
Domestic Supply had 6.0% cut in 2Q14 and 2.2% cut in 6M14, reflecting the Company’s flexibility in adapting its domestic capacity and in line with its guidance of a reduction between 3% and 1%.
Domestic Demand increased by 3.5% in the quarter and 9.0% in the first six months. It is worth noting that June’s numbers reflect only part of the traffic related to the World Cup, which began on the 12th.
The number of Passengers on-board reached a record of 19 million in the first six months of the year, 10% more than in 6M13. In June, GOL carried 2.8 million passengers in the domestic market, stable in relation to the same month last year, thanks to the Company’s focus on adapting its route network during the World Cup, which offset the decline in corporate demand in the period.
International Demand in 2Q14 grew by 30.2%, fueled by the 12.1p.p. increase in the international load factor. The Company remains focused on increasing its international market presence, launching new routes in the quarter between São Paulo (Brazil) and Santiago (Chile), and Campinas (Brazil) and Miami (USA).
