SEATTLE (AP) -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA is exercising options to buy four more Boeing 737-800 passenger jets worth up to $278 million (euro213 million) at list prices, the low-cost Brazilian carrier and the aircraft manufacturer announced Wednesday.
Under the contract with Boeing Commercial Airplanes, the carrier increased its number of firm orders to a total of 30 737-800s - six for delivery next year, 13 in 2007, seven in 2008 and four in 2009.
The 737-800 carries list prices of $61.5 million (euro47 million) to $69.5 million (euro53.3 million) but discounts are common, especially in multiple orders.
GOL now operates 29 Boeing 737s with a single class of service on flights within Brazil and Argentina.
