GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes recently announced its purchase of 60 737 MAX airplanes. GOL plans to use the new super-efficient 737 MAX to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs. The order is valued at approximately $6 billion at published list prices making it the largest order in GOL's 12-year history and the largest airplane order from a single airline in South America's aviation history.

The 737 MAX builds on the strengths of Boeing's best-selling Next-Generation 737 with big advances in fuel-efficiency and environmental performance. Equipped with new LEAP-1B engines from CFM International and improvements such as the Advanced Technology winglet, the 737 MAX reduces fuel burn and CO2 emissions by 14 percent and maintains the 8 percent operating cost advantage over future competition.
