La aerolínea Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes ha presentado una solicitud ante la Comisión de Valores de Brasil (TSC), proponiendo la fusión de su programa de fidelización Smiles y unidad Webjet. La propuesta deberá ser aprobada en la junta de accionistas de Smiles el 30 de junio 2017.

El plan de Gol para despedir a los 850 empleados de Webjet fue rechazado por el Ministerio de Trabajo, y una demanda continuó hasta el año 2015, cuando se llegó a un acuerdo sobre re-contratación e indemnización.

Aseman Airlines, línea aérea de la República de Irán firmó un acuerdo de compra de 30 Boeing 737 MAX por valor de 3.000 millones de dólares

El contrato fue anunciado en abril 2017 que se firmó durante una ceremonia en la capital, Teherán, obteniendo un compromiso de compra por unos 30 aviones Boeing 737 MAX entre los períodos 2022 a 2024. El ministro de Trabajo Ali Rabii expresó: «Estoy contento de que podamos mejorar la flota aérea para que conquiste mercados regionales», tras la firma del acuerdo.

El modelo de contrato podría no llevarse a cabo debido a las diferencias políticas que están en curso tras la era del nuevo presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, que tiene intensiones de volver a imponer sanciones a Irán. La Casa Blanca se ha tomado un periodo de 90 días para decidir si sigue adelante con el acuerdo cerrado en 2015 entre Irán y las grandes potencias mundiales, en el que Teherán se comprometió a garantizar el carácter pacífico de su programa nuclear a cambio del levantamiento de sanciones occidentales. Aunque Trump no abandone el acuerdo nuclear, la venta de los Boeing debe recibir la autorización de la oficina estadounidense de control de activos extranjeros (OFAC).

Boeing, está llevando en proceso de fabricación 80 aviones para la aerolínea Iran Air, por lo que está recibiendo críticas de senadores estadounidenses que aseguran que las compañías aéreas iraníes han sido utilizadas para transportar armamento y tropas a Siria y otras zonas de conflicto. La empresa aeronáutica estadounidense insistió, por su parte, en los beneficios del contrato con Aseman, que «creará o mantendrá cerca de 18.000 empleos en Estados Unidos». La República de Irán sufre un atraso en renovación de flota aerocomercial, pero ha podido comprar nuevos aparatos después de la firma del acuerdo nuclear en 2015.  

Aseman signs agreement for 30 Boeing 737 MAX

Aseman Airlines, Republic of Iran airline signed a purchase agreement of 30 Boeing 737 MAX worth $ 3 billion

The contract was announced in April 2017 that was signed during a ceremony in the capital Tehran, obtaining a purchase commitment for about 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft between the periods 2022 to 2024. Labor Minister Ali Rabii said: «I am pleased that we can improve the air fleet to conquer regional markets,» following the signing of the agreement.

The contract model may not be implemented because of the political differences that are underway after the era of new US President Donald Trump, who has plans to re-impose sanctions on Iran. The White House has taken a 90-day period to decide whether to proceed with the agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and the major world powers, in which Tehran undertook to ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of Western sanctions. Although Trump does not abandon the nuclear deal, the sale of the Boeing must be approved by the US Foreign Assets Control Office (OFAC).

Boeing is in the process of manufacturing 80 aircraft for Iran Air, and is receiving criticism from US senators who say Iranian airlines have been used to transport armaments and troops to Syria and other areas of conflict. The US aeronautical company insisted, for its part, on the benefits of the contract with Aseman, which «will create or maintain about 18,000 jobs in the United States.» The Republic of Iran is delayed in renewing its commercial air fleet but has been able to buy new aircraft after the signing of the nuclear agreement in 2015.
