History and Development

Azul was founded in 2008 in Barueri, São Paulo, with the objective of expanding regional air connectivity in Brazil and providing efficient air transport services to underserved routes.

In its early years, the company focused on building a regional network and establishing Campinas (Viracopos) as its primary operational hub.

Between 2010 and 2016, Azul expanded its fleet, increased its domestic route network, launched its cargo operations through Azul Cargo Express, and introduced international routes.

A major milestone occurred in 2017, when the company completed its initial public offering (IPO) on B3 and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), providing capital to support fleet expansion and international growth.

In recent years, the airline has focused on operational efficiency, fleet modernization—including the introduction of Airbus A320neo aircraft—and expansion of cargo and regional operations. The company also adapted its network and operations in response to changes in demand following the COVID-19 pandemic.
