Azul signs contract for maintenance of PF and PRF aircraft

Azul Conecta, the company's regional flight subsidiary, will be responsible for servicing the corporation's aircraft.

Azul Linhas Aéreas announced that Azul Conecta, the company's regional flight subsidiary, will be responsible for maintaining the Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft of the Federal Highway Police and the Federal Police. The contracts with the Federal Highway Police and the Federal Police will last two and four years, respectively.

Azul professionals will serve the Federal Police and Federal Highway Police in Brasília and at other bases of institutions with air operations, in addition to the Company's operational units and hangars, currently located at the airports of Jundiaí (SP), Manaus (AM), Recife (PE), Cuiabá (MT) and Pampulha (MG).

The contracts cover, in addition to maintaining the airworthiness of the C208B Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft, the complete logistical support service, including technical-operational support, supply of materials, possible maintenance outside the base, technological updating and operational improvement of the equipment.

Azul Conecta is currently the world's largest operator of Cessna Grand Caravans in terms of flight hours and has a fleet of 27 aircraft. The model offers up to nine seats and is used on regional routes, especially in more remote locations or those with less airport infrastructure.

"These latest developments demonstrate our readiness to expand our operations and put our expertise, fleet, and talent at the service of the industry and new customers. We have many growth plans, and offering our excellence in Cessna Grand Caravan maintenance is one of them for this year and the coming years," commented Vitor Silva, CEO of Azul Conecta.

With its own hangars in the country and a team of technicians specialized in this aircraft model with up to nine seats, the company wants to invest more and explore new directions to also be recognized for its maintenance services.
