Abra Group, owner of avianca airlines, GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes, Wamos Air, and start-up NG Servicios Aéreos, said it plans to file paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a possible initial public offering (IPO) in the United States.

In a statement, the company stressed that the IPO’s timing and details depend on market conditions and the SEC’s review.

Last year, Abra’s chief executive Adrian Neuhauser told ch-aviation that the primary objective for 2025 was to launch an IPO in the US. The holding delayed the IPO in 2024 due to the significant challenges it faced, particularly GOL’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganisation.

In recent days, the holding company said it was seeking to establish a new ACMI/charter carrier in Chile, NG Servicios Aéreos. Then, GOL Linhas Aéreas announced its plans to go private, undertake an internal merger process, and delist its shares from the B3 Brazil Stock Exchange.

Furthermore, in July, it was reported that Abra was engaged in negotiations with SKY Airline (Chile) over a 2021 bond held by Abra that includes a conversion clause allowing the holding to convert it into 40% equity in the Chilean low-cost.
