The Brazilian airline Azul will be able to sell its routes on the more than 50 BSPs that make up the group’s distribution network Madrid, September 3, 2024. The Brazilian airline Azul Linhas Aéreas has entrusted the Euroairlines Group with the organization of the distribution of its routes. The agreement signed between both companies will allow the Brazilian company to distribute in a wide network in more than 50 countries through the Spanish company’s IATA Q4-291 plate and connect its more than 160 routes with those of other partners of the Spanish group. This collaboration will improve Azul’s presence in the global market and position the Spanish company as a leader in distribution in South America.
Azul currently has more than 150 domestic routes in Brazil and seven to international destinations, such as Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Lisbon or Paris. It transports more than 28 million passengers a year, operates more than 27,000 monthly flights and was chosen by Tripadvisor as the best airline in the world in 2020.
The company was founded in Campinas (Brazil) in December 2008, when it launched two flights to Salvador de Bahia and Porto Alegre. It currently offers commercial flights, cargo and shipping, and Azul Conecta, a more exclusive service for aircraft with up to 9 passengers that offers rental, training for other airlines in Cessna Grand Caravans, and aeronautical consulting.
Currently headquartered in Sao Paulo, it operates a diverse fleet containing Airbus A320, A321, A330, ATR, Cessna Grand Caravan and Embraer E1 and E2.
Antonio López-Lázaro, CEO of Euroairlines Group, highly values the alliance and praises the Brazilian airline’s business model. “We are very proud to be able to contribute to the leading airline in Brazil having a greater presence in the world thanks to our distribution network,” explains López-Lázaro. Guillermo López-Lázaro, Director of Markets and Channels at Euroairlines, highlights the business model of the Brazilian airline. “It has a modern and attractive business model adapted to the new demands of passengers, which has led it in 15 years to be a leader and an example of growth in Brazil and transatlantic operations,” adds the director of Markets and Channels of the Spanish company.
“Connectivity has always been part of Azul’s DNA, and the partnership with Euroairlines Group came about as part of a larger movement by the company, which is to use this feature to increase our international presence. We are offering our customers more destination options with the quality and experience that are already part of our brand,” says André Mercadante, Azul’s Director of Partnerships and Network Planning.
