Azul is also involved in cargo, passenger charter, frequent-flyer programs, travel packages, aircraft financing, and maintenance services. The company expects to yield over $300 million in cash flow improvements from 2025 to 2027, driven by merger synergies and operational rationalization.

However, management projects conservatively estimated synergy gains between 5.5% and 6.5%, which could double the company's projected earnings per share for 2026.
