Airbus and Azul Linhas Aereas of Brazil have confirmed a firm order for four additional A330-900 aircraft, following a purchase agreement signed in June 2023. With this order, Azul will expand its fleet and international route offerings. Azul has positioned itself as a carrier with a highly fuel-efficient fleet, with over 80% of its capacity coming from next-generation aircraft. The A330neo has been a strategic choice for the airline’s widebody operations. With the five A330neos already in operation and the additional seven on order, Azul aims to standardize its international fleet. This move is expected to enhance the airline’s customer experience and maintain its reputation for on-time performance.
