Azul conclui reestruturação financeira nos EUA e sai da recuperação judicial | InvestNews
Durante o processo de reestruturação, que durou menos de nove meses, a Azul afirma que continou com suas operações normais, realizando cerca de 800 voos diários. A companhia também disse que cumpriu todas as metas operacionais de 2025, transportando 32 milhões de clientes.
Voltar da dar lucro
Em entrevista à Bloomberg no final do ano passado, o CEO da Azul, John Rodgerson disse que a companhia, agora apoiada pela United Airlines e a American Airlines, espera que uma redução da dívida desencadeada pela recuperação judicial e uma série de contratos de leasing de aeronaves renegociados a ajudem a gerar lucro nos próximos dois anos.
O plano de crescimento da companhia aérea é redirecionado ao mercado doméstico, embora pretenda aumentar os voos para os EUA para atender à forte demanda pelos jogos da Copa do Mundo de futebol. A Azul ainda aceitará entregas de novas aeronaves da Airbus e Embraer.
"O fluxo de caixa da empresa melhorou significativamente", disse Rodgerson à Bloomberg. "Geraremos caixa em 2026. Geraremos caixa em 2027. Esse é o plano."
Crise da Azul
Fundada em 2008 com alguns jatos Embraer, a Azul contraiu dívidas enormes para adicionar novas aeronaves e crescer rapidamente. Após enfrentar dificuldades com as pressões cambiais e os efeitos persistentes da pandemia, a Azul seguiu seus maiores concorrentes na região e entrou com pedido de Chapter 11 em maio.
A United e a American investiram na Azul. A companhia planeja oferecer voos em codeshare com as aéreas americanas, dando-lhes acesso a mais de 100 destinos brasileiros. A empresa também não espera que o recente aumento nas ações de fiscalização da imigração nos EUA diminua a demanda, e Rodgerson afirma que os brasileiros adoram viajar para o país.
