SAO PAULO, Dec. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. ("GLAI" or "Company"), (BM&FBOVESPA: GOLL4 and NYSE: GOL), (S&P: CCC, Fitch: CC and Moody's: Caa3), Brazil's largest air transportation and travel services group, with operation in passenger transportation, cargo transportation and coalition loyalty programs, today announced its 2017 preliminary financial guidance:

The Company has worked diligently to match fleet growth with GDP growth, and management believes it has successfully matched GOL's supply of seats with demand, as indicated by the Company's high load factors. GLAI's 2017 guidance reflects the continuance of a sound strategy, with a supply forecast matching GDP growth and the expected demand for seats.

Given the volatility of the Brazilian economy, the current above guidance for 2017 may be adjusted in order to incorporate the evolution of its operating and financial performance and any eventual changes in GDP growth, interest rates, exchange rate, and WTI and Brent oil price trends.
