*Brazilian airline Gol, which
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year, has announced that it has reached an agreement with investors who have committed to purchase US$1.25bn in debt instruments. This exit financing commitment is part of a broader restructuring plan and will help cover a large portion of Gol’s debt instruments, which total US$1.9bn, as well as help the airline to continue operations.
