Azul announced (05-Aug-2020) the carrier expects to operate 407 peak daily departures in Sep-2020. Domestic capacity will represent approximately 45% of the total capacity in Sep-2019. Azul has increased domestic capacity fivefold since Apr-2020 and will add eight domestic destinations to its route network, totalling 88 destinations. Azul CRO Abhi Shah stated: "We are glad to see that passenger demand is returning, which is already allowing us to be at 45% of last year's capacity. This compares very positively to our conservative view of 40% demand recovery by Dec-2020". [more - original PR]
