Brazil's Azul Jumps to the Main NYSE After Bankruptcy Exit

Key Facts

—The move. Azul, Brazil’s largest airline by cities served, upgrades its US listing from NYSE American to the main New York Stock Exchange, with trading under the ticker AZUL expected to begin on July 9, 2026.

—The structure. Each American Depositary Share represents two common shares; the Brazilian stock keeps trading on the B3 exchange in São Paulo as AZUL3.

—The backstory. The uplisting follows a Chapter 11 restructuring completed earlier in 2026 that wiped out billions in debt and left US carriers United and American as strategic partners.

—The scale. Azul runs roughly 800 daily flights to more than 137 destinations with a fleet above 180 aircraft and over 14,000 staff.
