São Paulo, September 11, 2023 – Azul S.A., “Azul”, (B3: AZUL4, NYSE: AZUL), the largest airline in Brazil by departures and number of cities served, announces today its preliminary traffic results for August 2023.
Consolidated passenger traffic (RPKs) increased 13.5% compared to August 2022 on a capacity (ASKs) increase of 13.1%, resulting in a load factor of 81.6%.
“August traffic trends are a clear indication that demand remains strong in Brazil, as corporate traffic fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
