Brazilian carrier GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes has signed a codeshare agreement with TAP Portugal. The partnership will place TAP’s flight code on GOL-operated services, allowing customers of both airlines greater connectivity across their networks.
Under the agreement, members of GOL’s SMILES and TAP’s Miles&Go (formerly Victory) frequent-flyer programs will be able to earn and redeem miles on eligible flights operated by either carrier. This reciprocal arrangement enhances benefits for loyal customers and simplifies mileage accrual and redemption when traveling between markets served by the two airlines.
GOL operates a dense regional network from its Brazilian hubs, offering around 910 daily flights to 65 destinations across South America, the United States and the Caribbean. TAP Portugal connects Europe and the Americas from its Lisbon hub, serving 78 cities in 34 countries and operating a significant number of weekly flights between Portugal and destinations across Brazil.
The codeshare expands options for travelers between Europe and South America by combining GOL’s strong intra‑Latin America coverage with TAP’s transatlantic reach. Passengers can expect smoother connections, coordinated schedules and improved access to destinations across both carriers’ networks.
Frequent flyers on both programs should review the carriers’ terms and conditions for mileage accrual and redemption on codeshare flights, as eligibility and earning rates may vary by fare class and route. Customers are advised to check booking details at the time of purchase to ensure flights are ticketed with the desired frequent‑flyer number and to confirm which flights qualify for benefits.
This commercial tie-up follows a broader industry trend of airlines forming strategic partnerships to extend market reach, streamline connections and offer more seamless travel experiences without necessarily merging operations. For travelers between Brazil and Europe, the GOL–TAP codeshare promises greater route choice and improved transfer options through the combined networks.
