«Azul has intensified the number of flights to the most popular destinations during the high season. In this regard, the Northeast region is the champion in extra routes, which makes our hub in Recife even more strategic. As a connecting point for flights from different states, we complement the connection with other capitals in the Northeast and strengthen links with the Southeast. We are offering our customers the best travel experience and boosting tourism and the Brazilian economy. We believe this will be one of the best summers in history,» said Beatriz Barbi, Azul’s Director of Network Planning.
