LONDON, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Abra Group announced today that it will progressively incorporate seven Airbus A330-900 wide-body aircraft into its fleet during 2026 and 2027. This expansion forms part of the Group’s strategy to strengthen its long-haul operations and enhance the travel experience in key international markets.
In an initial phase, up to five of the seven aircraft will be operated by GOL and two by avianca, reinforcing the Group’s network and operational capabilities within the region and on routes to and from Europe and North America. Wamos Air, an essential part of the Group, will support GOL’s internationalization strategy and avianca’s expansion during this growth period.
The A330-900 aircraft offer a capacity of more than 290 seats, including a Business Class cabin designed to provide enhanced onboard comfort and service. Reinforcing our commitment to accessibility and inclusive travel, some of the aircraft will also feature a specially adapted lavatory for passengers with reduced mobility.
Flight crews will undergo comprehensive training programs to ensure the highest standards of service, safety, and operational excellence once the aircraft enter service.
Adrián Neuhauser, CEO of Abra Group, said:
“The incorporation of these aircraft represents an important milestone for Abra Group. It strengthens our long-haul offering, enhances the customer experience through greater comfort and accessibility, and supports our vision of building an air transport network that reaches more people, connecting the Americas with the world.”
