São Paulo, October 7, 2022 – Azul S.A., “Azul”, (B3: AZUL4, NYSE: AZUL), the largest airline in Brazil by departures and number of cities served, announces today its preliminary traffic results for September 2022.

Consolidated passenger traffic (RPKs) increased 11.3% compared to September 2021 on a capacity (ASKs) increase of 11.7%, resulting in a load factor of 79.1%, a reduction of 0.3 percentage points compared to the same period in 2021.

“In September we continued to see strong demand for our flights, allowing us to maintain constant load factors with increasing yields. We expect these trends to continue into our peak summer season,” says John Rodgerson, Azul’s CEO.

Azul S.A. (B3: AZUL4, NYSE: AZUL), the largest airline in Brazil by number of flight departures and cities served, offers around 900 daily flights to over 150 destinations. With an operating fleet of around 160 aircraft and more than 13,000 crewmembers, Azul has a network of more than 300 non-stop routes. In 2020 Azul was awarded best airline in the world by TripAdvisor, the first time a Brazilian Flag Carrier ranked number one in the Traveler’s Choice Awards.

One-fare paying passenger transported one kilometer. RPK is calculated by multiplying the number of revenue passengers by the number of kilometers flown.
