Next-Generation Fuel Efficient Embraer E2 And A320neo Aircraft To Replace Embraer E-195s
Azul, the largest airline in Brazil by number of departures and destinations, announces today a significant acceleration in its fleet transformation program. The Company expects to add 21 next-generation aircraft this year, an increase of eight aircraft from its previous plan. These additions will be offset by the retirement of 15 Embraer E195 E1s, seven more than previously announced. Consistent with our fleet upgauging strategy, total available seat kilometers (ASKs) are expected to increase by 18% while departures should grow by only 5%.
