Delta Air Lines (Atlanta) and Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes (Sao Paulo), parent of both Gol Transportes Aereas and VARIG (2nd), have filed a request for authorization to implement a code-share agreement with Brazilian and U.S. authorities.

The code-share will initially allow Delta to assign its code to more than 45 Gol/VARIG flights departing from Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to other Brazilian destinations, as well as two Gol flights between Brazil and Paraguay and Uruguay.
