Brazil's Gol airline announced Wednesday that it will buy Varig, the nation's former flagship carrier, in a cash and stock deal valued at about $275 million.

Gol, the country's No. 2 carrier, said it will also assume about $45 million in debt from Varig, which was Brazil's top airline for decades but virtually disintegrated last year under crushing debt before re-emerging as a much smaller carrier.

Those darn free-whiskey-drinking domestic pax!

They put another proud national carrier over the edge.

FFFFPiney should be so lucky.

(we can say anything we want on these international threads because nobody else reads 'em....)
