Brazil airline Gol expects to halve cash burn for remainder of 2020

SAO PAULO, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Brazil's Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes said on Thursday it expects to burn through 3 million reais ($565,195.27) a day for the rest of 2020, half of its previously announced expected cash consumption.

Gol faced a cash crunch at the end of August as the deadline neared to repay a $300 million loan that credit rating analysts said had a high risk of default.

Gol said Thursday it had managed "a full pay-down" of the loan, which was secured by Delta Air Lines.

Last week, Reuters reported that Delta had actually helped Gol refinance the loan.

In the month of August, excluding the repayment of its debt, Gol burned through 6 million reais per day, it said.

As of the end of the month, it said it had a "total liquidity" of 2.1 billion reais, although it did not disclose how much of that was in readily available cash.

Under its own metric, liquidity has fallen 46% since June, and 17% since July. ($1 = 5.3079 reais) (Reporting by Marcelo Rochabrun Editing by Nick Zieminski)
