A U.S. bankruptcy court approved Azul's Chapter 11 restructuring, enabling cuts of over $2.6 billion in debt and lease obligations and clearing a $950 million capital raise — including $100 million commitments each from United and American — alongside a $1.34 billion share offering.

Briefing
Court approval unlocks the financing and creditor-conversion package central to Azul’s recovery: a $950 million capital raise (including $100 million each from United and American) and a $1.34 billion share offering to complete the restructuring, enabling reductions of over $2.6 billion in liabilities. See Azul’s plan to return to profit by 2026 after a Chapter 11 restructuring backed by United and American.
The restructuring alters fleet and lessor dynamics that affect capacity and delivery timing — Azul has signalled slower Embraer E2 deliveries and returns of A330neos, and lessors have moved to reclaim A320neos; these actions will shift near-term fleet availability and lease cashflows. Relevant context: Azul to slow Embraer E2 deliveries, return A330neos and cut leases in Chapter 11 update and Azul to return four A320neos to lessor JSA International; jets to be repatriated to U.S. in December.
