The airline anticipates its shares will begin trading on the primary NYSE market starting next Thursday. Azul's CEO, John Rodgerson, described the listing as a "new chapter" that will significantly boost the company's visibility within the global investment community. He emphasized that following its restructuring process, Azul now boasts improved governance, a simplified capital structure, and a solid foundation for long-term value creation.

Azul had previously sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in May 2025, a process that officially concluded in February. This restructuring aimed to streamline operations and strengthen its financial standing.
