en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil's Azul Linhas Aéreas has recently introduced a series of capacity expansion initiatives, involving new routes, network strengthening, fleet expansion, and increased flights during the holiday peak season.
The company celebrated its 16th anniversary of operations at São Paulo's Congonhas Airport. Since beginning operations in the capital of São Paulo in 2010, Azul has operated approximately 177,700 flights and transported over 16.3 million passengers. Currently, Congonhas Airport connects to 13 destinations in Brazil. To prepare for the July holidays, Azul has developed a special operational plan, during which some business routes will give way to tourist destinations.
To meet the increased demand from June to August, the company has arranged approximately 1,200 additional flights, adding more than 174,000 seats in both domestic and international markets. One of the new initiatives is a new route connecting Congonhas to Cuiabá (Mato Grosso state), scheduled to launch after the Independence Day holiday in September, with two daily flights operated by Embraer E2 aircraft.
Azul confirmed the resumption of flights between Mossoró (Rio Grande do Norte state) and Recife (Pernambuco state) starting September 3. The route, with two weekly flights, will strengthen the connection between the interior of Rio Grande do Norte and the company's main hub in the Northeast.
In terms of international operations, the company plans to increase capacity to South American and Caribbean destinations during the winter. For the third consecutive year, Azul will operate seasonal flights to Bariloche and Mendoza in Argentina, and maintain flights to Curaçao. Viracopos Airport in Campinas will handle most of the special flight schedule.
The company also announced the delivery of its first Airbus A330neo, part of a purchase contract for 11 aircraft. This new aircraft, delivered directly from the Airbus factory in France, will be used for long-haul routes, strengthening Azul's position in the international market, especially between Brazil and Europe and the United States.
Through continuous investment in its fleet, new routes, and peak season operations, Azul is committed to expanding its connectivity and consolidating its position as one of Brazil's leading airlines.
