Azul (AZUL53) anuncia saída de processo de recuperação judicial nos EUA – Money Times
A Azul (AZUL53) informou nesta sexta-feira (20) que concluiu seu processo de reestruturação financeira nos Estados Unidos e saiu do Chapter 11, após cumprir todas as condições previstas no plano de reorganização homologado em dezembro de 2025.
A companhia quitou integralmente o financiamento DIP e liquidou a oferta pública de ações realizada em fevereiro, tornando efetiva a saída do processo conduzido na Corte de Falências do Distrito Sul de Nova York.
Com a reestruturação, a Azul reduziu aproximadamente US$ 2,5 bilhões em dívidas e obrigações de arrendamento. Desse total, cerca de US$ 1,1 bilhão referem-se a empréstimos e financiamentos. A dívida de leasing de aeronaves caiu quase 40%.
A empresa estima redução superior a 50% nas despesas anuais com juros e corte de cerca de um terço nos custos recorrentes com arrendamentos. A alavancagem líquida proforma na saída ficou abaixo de 2,5 vezes.
A companhia também captou cerca de US$ 1,375 bilhão com emissão de notas seniores e US$ 950 milhões em compromissos de equity.
Capital social
Após a oferta e o grupamento de ações aprovado em assembleia, o capital social da Azul passou a R$ 21,75 bilhões, dividido em 54,7 trilhões de ações ordinárias. Com o eventual exercício de bônus de subscrição aprovados pelo conselho, o total pode chegar a 62,1 trilhões de ações.
A reestruturação foi negociada com credores e parceiros estratégicos, incluindo a AerCap, a United Airlines e a American Airlines.
Segundo a empresa, o processo foi concluído em menos de nove meses, sem interrupção das operações. Em 2025, a Azul transportou 32 milhões de clientes, operou cerca de 800 voos por dia, atendeu mais de 130 cidades e encerrou o ano com frota de aproximadamente 170 aeronaves.
