SAO PAULO, Oct. 20 -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A., the largest low-cost and low-fare airline in Latin America, and Iberia, Spain's largest air transport group, announced today that the companies have signed a code-share agreement. The companies are also evaluating the possibility of linking their frequent flyer programs, GOL's SMILES and Iberia's Plus.

Under the code-share agreement, Iberia can add its IATA code to GOL flights from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo to 13 Brazilian destinations: Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Curitiba, Florianopolis, Fortaleza, Foz do Iguacu, Goiania, Manaus, Natal, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador and Vitoria.
