Azul exits Chapter 11 with debt cuts and shifts focus to profitability and stable growth.

Azul Airlines has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a comprehensive restructuring plan that reduces its loans by 38.8%, lease liabilities by 42%, and lowers net debt leverage to 2.4 times. The company aims to avoid major debt maturities for the next five years and achieve permanent savings on leases. Management is now prioritizing moderate capacity growth of about 3.4% annually and expanding higher-margin non-airline businesses to create more resilient earnings and less cyclical cash flow. Azul is rated a speculative buy with a price target of $13.94, reflecting a potential 66% upside, though investors should watch for execution risks, high lease exposure, and macroeconomic challenges.
