Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras SA, the short-haul airline started by JetBlue Airways Corp. founder David Neeleman, is joining the crowded battle for Brazilians who want to fly to the U.S.
Service to Florida will begin in 2015 as the carrier adds six wide-body Airbus Group NV A330-200s under lease, Azul said today, without specifying a destination. In 2017, the Campinas, Brazil-based carrier will get its first of five deliveries of new A350-900s.
