The airline was established in 2000 as '''Gol Transportes Aéreos S.A.''' and started operations on 15 January 2001 with a flight from Brasília to São Paulo.<ref>{{Cite news |date=April 2012 |title=Editorial |language=pt |page=12 |work=Revista Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes}}</ref> It is a subsidiary of the Brazilian conglomerate Grupo Áurea, based in [[Minas Gerais]] [[States of Brazil|state]], which has other transportation interests, including Brazil's largest long-distance bus company. Grupo Áurea in turn is owned by the Constantino family. [[Constantino de Oliveira Júnior|Constantino Júnior]] was responsible for building the business next to the vice president of the company, [[David Barioni]].<ref name="IstoE">{{Cite web |title=David Barioni |url=http://www.terra.com.br/istoedinheiro-temp/edicoes/584/imprime118312.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408155840/http://www.terra.com.br/istoedinheiro-temp/edicoes/584/imprime118312.htm |archive-date=8 April 2016 |access-date=20 June 2016 |publisher=IstoE}}</ref><ref name="Exame">{{Cite magazine |title=Chamaram o piloto |url=http://exame.abril.com.br/revista-exame/edicoes/908/noticias/chamaram-o-piloto-m0146020 |url-status=dead |magazine=Exame |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415203913/http://exame.abril.com.br/revista-exame/edicoes/908/noticias/chamaram-o-piloto-m0146020 |archive-date=15 April 2016 |access-date=20 June 2016}}</ref>

In 2007, Gol was owned by AeroPar Participações (75.5%), Venture (17.6%), American International Group (5.4%) and [[Air France-KLM]] (1.5%).<ref name="FI">{{Cite news |date=3 April 2007 |title=Directory: World Airlines |page=87 |work=[[Flight International]]}}</ref>  The growth in GOL's stock price made the Constantino family a member of the ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine billionaire list in 2005.

In 2007, Gol was supposed to begin a code-share agreement with [[TAP Portugal]], opening the European market to the Brazilian airline, and the internal Brazilian market to the Portuguese airline (the largest foreign airline in Brazil). Instead, TAP Portugal chose to cooperate with [[LATAM Brasil|TAM Airlines]].<ref name="Avionews">{{Cite web |date=25 June 2007 |title=Agenzia stampa del settore aeronautico, elicotteristico, aerospaziale e della difesa |url=http://www.avionews.com/index.php?corpo=see_news_home.php&news_id=1075945&pagina_chiamante=index.php |access-date=7 October 2012 |publisher=Avionews}}</ref>

On 24 February 2010, Gol announced it was in "advanced talks" to join the [[Oneworld alliance]],<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 February 2010 |title=AMR in alliance talks with China Eastern-CFO |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61N6H420100224 |access-date=20 September 2010}}</ref> which would allow it to catch up with rival TAM, a recent member of Star Alliance. However, on 6 October 2010, the airline announced a change in position by denying any interest in joining an alliance, preferring to remain independent and to establish a "patchwork of code-sharing agreements.".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Wisnefski |first=Stephen |date=6 October 2010 |title=Brazil's GOL Doesn't See Benefit of Joining Global Alliance |work=The Wall Street Journal |url=https://www.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20101006-711377.html |access-date=7 October 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=May 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Following this trend, on 28 September 2011, Gol and [[Aerolíneas Argentinas]] announced the intention to implement a codeshare, feeder and frequent flyer programs agreement on a date yet to be announced and pending approval from the governments of Brazil and [[Argentina]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andrade |first=Artur Luiz |date=28 September 2011 |title=Gol e Aerolíneas Argentinas terão code-share |url=http://www.panrotas.com.br/noticia-turismo/aviacao/gol-e-aerolineas-argentinas-terao-code-share_71748.html |access-date=29 September 2011 |publisher=Panrotas |language=pt}}</ref>

On 18 March 2010, Gol unveiled the expansion of its maintenance base located at [[Tancredo Neves International Airport|Belo Horizonte/Confins - Tancredo Neves International Airport]]. Originally opened in 2006 with the capacity to service 60 aircraft per year (mainly Boeing 737 and 767), the expansion allowed Gol to increase the number to 120.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Takar |first=Téo |date=18 March 2010 |title=Gol dobra capacidade do centro de manutenção de Confins |url=http://www.valoronline.com.br/?online/empresas/11/6163846/gol-dobra-capacidade-do-centro-de-manutencao-de-confins |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723075112/http://www.valor.com.br/?online%2Fempresas%2F11%2F6163846%2Fgol-dobra-capacidade-do-centro-de-manutencao-de-confins |archive-date=23 July 2012 |access-date=8 April 2010 |publisher=Valor Online |language=pt }}</ref> Gol later started also using the base to service aircraft from other airlines, and as of 2013, it also serviced airplanes from [[Azul Brazilian Airlines]] and [[Copa Airlines]].<ref name="falandodeviagem">{{Cite web |date=23 July 2013 |title=Centro de manutenção Gol Linhas Aéreas, em Confins |trans-title=Gol Linhas Aéreas Maintenance Center at Confins |url=http://www.falandodeviagem.com.br/viewtopic.php?t=6457 |access-date=27 February 2015 |website=Falando de Viagem |language=pt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=6 July 2010 |title=Brazil MRO sector poised for major expansion |work=Flightglobal |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2010/07/06/343930/brazil-mro-sector-poised-for-major-expansion.html |access-date=6 July 2010}}</ref>

On 23 December 2010, Gol Airlines started an operational partnership with Brazilian carrier [[Passaredo Linhas Aéreas]]. The agreement was rescinded on 31 July 2014, when Passaredo established a similar interline agreement with TAM Airlines instead.<ref>{{Cite web |date=17 July 2014 |title=TAM nega interesse na Passaredo e anuncia acordo |url=http://www.panrotas.com.br/noticia-turismo/aviação/tam-nega-interesse-na-passaredo-e-anuncia-acordo_102556.html?pesquisa=1 |access-date=27 February 2015 |publisher=Panrotas |language=pt}}</ref>

On 6 October 2012, Gol started seasonal operations at [[Miami International Airport|Miami]] and [[Orlando International Airport|Orlando]], which are available for Smiles account holders and originated in Brazil only. Technically, they are considered charter flights, although they are not necessarily part of an inclusive tour package; the use of miles or miles plus money is mandatory, as well as a minimum 7-day stay at the destination.<ref>{{Cite web |date=14 September 2012 |title=Voos Smiles para os EUA |url=http://www.voegol.com.br/smiles/pt-br/o-smiles/novidades/Paginas/voossmilesbb.aspx?s_cid=EmailMkt_Smiles_Botao_voosSmilesBB_2012_09_05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120921040348/http://www.voegol.com.br/smiles/pt-br/o-smiles/novidades/Paginas/voossmilesbb.aspx?s_cid=EmailMkt_Smiles_Botao_voosSmilesBB_2012_09_05 |archive-date=21 September 2012 |access-date=19 September 2012 |publisher=Gol |language=pt}}</ref>

In February 2014, [[Air France–KLM]] announced it would invest $100 million in Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes in advance of the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[2016 Olympics]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=20 February 2014 |title=Air France-KLM Partners with Brazilian Airline in Preparation for World Cup, Olympics |work=Ground Report |url=http://groundreport.com/air-france-klm-partners-with-brazilian-airline-in-preparation-for-world-cup-olympics/ |access-date=10 March 2014}}</ref>

Some disagreement exists about whether Gol is a [[low-cost carrier]]. In 2014, Gol was ranked the second-best low-cost airline in South America after [[Azul Brazilian Airlines|Azul]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Best Low-Cost Airlines in South America |url=http://www.worldairlineawards.com/Awards_2014/lowcoststhamerica.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819081620/http://www.worldairlineawards.com/Awards_2014/lowcoststhamerica.htm |archive-date=19 August 2014 |access-date=25 October 2014 |publisher=[[Skytrax]]}}</ref> Gol refers to itself as a low-cost carrier, but it is increasingly not regarded as such. According to [[Federal University of Rio de Janeiro|UFRJ]] specialist Elton Fernandes, "GOL's costs are not very different from those of [[TAM Airlines]]. People are accustomed to calling Gol low-cost, but Gol is not that. It is not even low-fare anymore.".<ref>{{Cite news |title=Gol passa a cobrar pelo refrigerante e pela batatinha |language=pt |work=[[O Estado de S.

On 26 September 2019, [[Delta Airlines|Delta]] announced that it will exit its minority stake in GOL, following Delta acquiring 20% stake of [[LATAM Airlines Group]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Josephs |first=Phil LeBeau,Leslie |date=26 September 2019 |title=Delta is buying 20% of LATAM, Latin America's largest airline |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/26/delta-is-buying-20percent-of-latam-latin-americas-largest-airline.html |access-date=27 September 2019 |website=CNBC |language=en}}</ref>

On 11 May 2022, it was announced that Gol would merge with [[Avianca]] to form the '''Abra Group''', which would own both companies.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aviacionline.com/2022/05/breaking-avianca-and-gol-set-to-merge-under-same-holding/|title=Breaking: Avianca and GOL set to become part of the same holding|website=Aviacionline.com|date=11 May 2022|access-date=May 11, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://airinsight.com/abra-group-limited-the-new-holding-of-avianca-gol-and-viva/|title=Abra Group Limited: the new holding of Avianca, GOL, and Viva|website=Airinsight.com|author=Daniel Martínez Garbuno|date=11 May 2022|access-date=May 11, 2022}}</ref>

In March 2023, Gol reduced frequencies in Fortaleza as well as cancelled the Fortaleza airline's hub.<ref>{{Cite web |title=hub-falho-e-limitado-gol-reduz-pela-metade-voos-em-fortaleza |url=https://diariodonordeste.verdesmares.com.br/opiniao/colunistas/igor-pires/hub-falho-e-limitado-gol-reduz-pela-metade-voos-em-fortaleza-e-abre-espaco-para-concorrentes-1.3344265 |access-date=10 March 2023 |website=Diário Do Nordeste |date=10 March 2023 |language=pt}}</ref>

In January 2024, Gol prepared to file for [[Chapter 11 bankruptcy]], stating that the airline has been struggling with high debt and recently hired [[Seabury Capital]] to help it in a broad capital structure review. As a result, the company's shares tumbled as much as 13% or 27% at Ibovespa.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/brazils-gol-considering-chapter-11-bankruptcy-report-says-2024-01-15/|title=Shares in Brazil's Gol tank on report of potential US bankruptcy filing|date=15 January 2024|access-date=25 January 2024|website=Reuters|language=en}}</ref> On 24 January 2024, Gol sought US$950 million in financing to fund itself during its bankruptcy procedures.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-24/gol-seeks-950-million-in-financing-to-fund-itself-in-bankruptcy|title=Brazilian Airline Gol Seeks US$950 Million in Financing to Fund Itself in Bankruptcy|date=24 January 2024|access-date=25 January 2024|website=Bloomberg|language=en}}</ref> On 25 January 2024, Gol declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York to bounce back from high debt costs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

===Purchase of Varig===
[[File:Varig Boeing 737-700 PR-VBU GIG 2010-5-30.png|thumb|[[Varig]] [[Boeing 737-700]]]]

On 28 March 2007, Gol officially purchased part of the assets of [[VARIG]] - VRG Linhas Aéreas, informally known as the "new Varig," a new company that owned the Varig brand, for US$320 million from Volo Group and [[MatlinPatterson|MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities]] [[private equity|hedge fund]]. At that time, the "old Varig" was under bankruptcy protection. Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes SA posted a first-quarter loss of 3.5 million Reais (2 million US dollars) after revenues of 1.6 billion Reais (one billion US dollars).

Gol announced that the Varig brand would continue [[d/b/a|doing business]] operating as such, rather than its official name VRG Linhas Aéreas.<ref>[http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070328/gol_varig.html?.v=3 Former Brazilian Flagship Airline Bought] 28 March 2007</ref> The transaction, via its GTI subsidiary, required a US$98 million cash payment, with the balance through the allocation of non-voting shares to [[VarigLog|VARIG Logística]] and Volo, which had acquired VARIG in June 2006 for US$24 million.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Jackson Flores |date=3 April 2007 |title=Brazil's Gol nets ailing Varig successor |page=8 |work=Flight International}}</ref> The transaction did not involve the original airline, informally known as "old Varig," which continued to exist until its bankruptcy in mid-2010 under the name [[Flex Linhas Aéreas]].

In 2009, Gol was merged into VRG Linhas Aéreas. VRG Linhas Aéreas thus became an airline that operates two brands: Gol and Varig, although in reality flights are operated only under Gol flight numbers. Initially, the Varig brand operated to medium-haul scheduled and charter international destinations within South America and to the Caribbean with Boeing 737-700s configured in two classes, and to long-haul charter international destinations in North America, Europe and Africa with [[Boeing 767]]-300ERs configured in economy only. The latter was also used in [[Aircraft lease|wet-lease]] operations.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Komatsu |first=Alberto |date=18 March 2010 |title=Varig vai a Europa e aos EUA com voo fretado |url=http://www.valoronline.com.br/?impresso/empresas/95/6163488/varig-vai-a-europa-e-aos-eua-com--voo-fretado |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120723074951/http://www.valor.com.br/?impresso%2Fempresas%2F95%2F6163488%2Fvarig-vai-a-europa-e-aos-eua-com--voo-fretado |archive-date=23 July 2012 |access-date=18 March 2010 |publisher=Valor Online |language=pt }}</ref> This scheme was later dropped. The brand Gol operates most of the flights of the network and has aircraft configured in all-economy class, used for scheduled domestic and international operations within South America.

Because of contractual obligations, between 2006 and 2009 the "new Varig" (VRG Linhas Aéreas) was obliged to purchase a minimum of 140 hours/month of services from the "old Varig" (Flex Linhas Aéreas). Therefore, at that time, some of VRG Linhas Aéreas flights operated with Gol flight numbers but were actually flown with chartered aircraft from Flex Linhas Aéreas. The agreement ceased before the bankruptcy of Flex on 20 August 2010.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Niemeyer |first=Felipe |date=20 August 2010 |title=Falência da Flex, Rio Sul e Nordeste: Trip deve assumir |url=http://www.panrotas.com.br/noticia-turismo/aviacao/falencia-da-flex-rio-sul-e-nordeste-trip-deve-assumir_60734.html |access-date=20 August 2010 |publisher=Panrotas |language=pt |archive-date=3 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303095206/http://www.panrotas.com.br/noticia-turismo/aviacao/falencia-da-flex-rio-sul-e-nordeste-trip-deve-assumir_60734.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
