The
Brazilian company will be able to sell its routes in the more than 50 BSPs that
make up the group's distribution network.
The Brazilian airline Azul Linhas Aéreas has entrusted
the Euroairlines Group with the organization of the distribution of its routes.
The agreement signed between the two companies will allow the Brazilian airline
to distribute on a wide network in more than 50 countries through the Spanish airline's
IATA Q4-291 plate and connect its more than 160 routes with those of other
partners of the Spanish group.
This collaboration will enhance Azul's presence in the
global market and position the Spanish company as a leader in distribution in
South America.
Azul currently operates more than 150 domestic routes
in Brazil and seven to international destinations, such as Orlando, Fort
Lauderdale, Lisbon and Paris. It transports more than 28 million passengers per
year, operates more than 27,000 flights per month and was chosen by Tripadvisor
as the best airline in the world in 2020.
The company was born 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 shipments and Azul Conecta, a
more exclusive service for aircraft of up to 9 passengers that offers rental,
training to other airlines in Cessna Grand Caravan and aeronautical consultancy.
Antonio López-Lázaro, CEO of Euroairlines Group,
values the alliance very positively 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,
Market, Channels & Cargo Managing Director, highlights the Brazilian
airline's business model. "It has a modern and attractive business model
adapted to new passenger demands, which in 15 years has made it 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 the Euroairlines Group has emerged as part of a larger
movement of 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", said Andre
Mercadante, Director of Alliances and Network Planning at Azul.
