Azul Linhas Aereas , a Brazilian airline that has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection since May, will be accelerating its fleet and network simplification efforts in order to exit restructuring by the time early 2026 comes around. The airline is looking to simplify its network by returning additional aircraft (mostly first-generation Embraer E195s) on top of the company's prior requests that will see it reduce its fleet by around 35%. Azul ended the second quarter with a fleet of 186 aircraft, with all units slated for return being models that were previously out of service, ultimately limiting the impact on customers.
