GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes (G3, São Paulo Congonhas) has announced plans to establish a new subsidiary based at Santo Domingo Las Américas and tentatively called Gol Dominicana (Santo Domingo Las Américas). The new carrier is expected to launch operations in the second half of 2013 and will be a joint venture between Gol and private Dominican investors. Gol had already previously announced plans to route its new services between Brazil and Florida via Santo Domingo. It plans to operate to several Latin American countries from Santo Domingo with Gol Dominicana targeting both connecting traffic to the US and incoming tourism to the Dominican Republic.
