São Paulo, November 9, 2017 - GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. ("GOL" or "Company"), (NYSE: GOL and B3: GOLL4), Brazil's #1 airline, announces an increase in its guidance for the full year 2017. The revision is based on 3Q17 financial results and the air traffic figures for 9M17, improved operating and financial performance, and the Company's commitment to capacity discipline.

GOL believes it has matched the Company's supply of seats with demand for its air transportation services, as indicated by GOL's consistently high load factors. The 2017 revised guidance (table below) reflects the continuity of this strategy.
