Toulouse, November 29, 2014 (STAT):-Azul Brazilian Airlines has signed a purchase agreement for 35 A320neo Family aircraft. The airline has chosen the A320neo Family to carry out domestic long haul flights and high density routes, including Campinas – Salvador and Campinas – Recife
In April, Azul announced that it would start operating long haul flights by early December.
“Azul is an airline that truly serves all of Brazil. With more than 100 destinations, Azul will soon offer even more seats on our longer haul flights, allowing us to reduce operating costs. In addition to its market leading economics, which will allow Azul to stimulate new demand, the A320neo is also a perfect complement to our E-Jet fleet, giving us additional seats and capacity that can be dedicated to strategic projects like TudoAzul, Azul Viagens and Azul Cargo.” said David Neeleman, CEO and Founder of Azul.
“Airbus welcomes Azul to the A320 Family and is proud that they will rely on the A320neo’s unbeatable productivity and fuel efficiency to expand their services. We are pleased that Azul recognizes Airbus’ commitment to Brazil and the importance of operating the high performance A320neo in key airports such as Santos Dumont in Rio. This order truly underscores the leading position of the A320neo in the single aisle market.” reciprocated John Leahy, Airbus Chief Operating Officer, and Customers
