Azul

Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras has been making waves in the Brazilian aviation industry for just over a decade. Often known simply as Azul, meaning ‘Blue’ in Portuguese, the carrier is the brainchild of JetBlue founder David Neeleman. Azul has a considerable market share in Brazilian air traffic, and operates a diverse fleet to domestic and international destinations. (Featured image: Lukas Souza | Simple Flying)
