Azul S.A. (AZUL) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

Market Penetration focuses on increasing market share within existing markets using existing products. For Azul S.A. (AZUL), this means maximizing the value derived from its established Brazilian network and customer base.

The strategy centers on expanding operational scale and extracting greater revenue from the current route structure, especially where Azul S.A. faces no direct competition.

• Increase domestic capacity by approximately 10% in 2025, leveraging new E2 aircraft.
• Maximize yield on the roughly 81% of routes where Azul S.A. is the sole airline.
• Boost utilization of the fleet's approximately 1,000 daily flights across its over 160 destinations.
• Run targeted promotions to capture market share from competitors in key Brazilian hubs.
• Refine pricing strategies to improve cash flow post-restructuring, a defintely critical step.

The planned capacity expansion for 2025 is supported by the expected delivery of between 12 and 15 new Embraer E2 aircraft. This upgauging strategy uses the E2s, which offer a significantly lower trip cost and fuel burn, to serve existing markets more efficiently. In H1 2025, domestic capacity grew by almost 13% year-over-year, driven by the recovery from the 2Q24 floods.

The company's network design provides a competitive moat, as Azul S.A. is the sole airline on roughly 81% of its routes. This dominance extends to being the market leader in terms of departures in more than 130 Brazilian cities. To capture more share in competitive areas, Azul S.A. suspended 14 routes in March 2025 due to high fuel prices but simultaneously increased service in many other markets. The airline currently commands roughly 40% of domestic flights in Brazil.

The operational foundation for this penetration is the existing network scale. Azul S.A. operates approximately 1,000 daily flights connecting travelers to over 160 destinations. This network supports over 400 non-stop routes.

Refining pricing and financial structure is critical following the 2024 restructuring. The goal is to improve liquidity and reduce leverage to support operational targets.

The post-restructuring financial plan anticipates that operating cash flow after interest expenses will barely cover capital expenditure (approximately R$1.8 billion) and lease payments (approximately R$3.2 billion). The company projects Free Operating Cash Flow (FOCF) after lease payments to be between R$100 million and R$300 million in the next two years.

The airline is also focusing on ancillary revenue streams, with its loyalty program, Azul Fidelidade, boasting more than 18 million members in 2024.

Azul S.A. (AZUL) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Azul S.A. (AZUL) is pushing its existing services into new geographic territories. This Market Development thrust is critical, especially as the company navigates its financial restructuring, aiming to capture revenue from markets it hasn't fully penetrated yet.

The focus on international expansion is clear, using the growing long-haul fleet capacity to serve new and existing overseas markets. For instance, international business net revenue saw growth of more than 50% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year. Furthermore, in the third quarter of 2025, international capacity growth surged more than 30% year-over-year, showing a strong commitment to this segment.

Here's a breakdown of the specific actions supporting this strategy:

• Expand international network by launching new routes to European gateways like Madrid and Porto, started in June 2025.
• Capitalize on new seasonal routes to South American markets, such as Mendoza, Argentina.
• Strengthen existing international routes (e.g., Lisbon, Orlando) to increase passenger and cargo flow.
• Leverage strategic partnerships with United Airlines and American Airlines to access new passenger feed.
• Focus Azul Viagens on stronger outbound international packages to balance its domestic bias.

Regarding the South American network, Azul launched a new route between Montevideo and Campinas during the third quarter of 2025, which is expected to support future traffic. While the plan mentions Mendoza, Argentina, confirmed operational data for 2025 points to the Montevideo route launch. You can see current pricing examples for key international city pairs in late 2025:

Strengthening existing major international corridors, like those to the United States, is also key. Azul currently serves eight U.S. destinations, with Fort Lauderdale and Orlando being primary focuses. The airline's overall passenger traffic grew 7.7% in the second quarter of 2025, carrying nearly 8.0 million passengers, supported by this international push.

The financial restructuring completed in May 2025 involved significant backing from key partners. United Airlines and American Airlines committed equity investments totaling up to $300 million combined upon emergence from the Chapter 11 process. This support is part of a larger package that secured approximately $1.6 billion in debtor-in-possession financing to support operations during the reorganization. The partnership with United Airlines specifically maintains codeshare agreements and shared loyalty benefits, which helps feed passengers onto Azul's network.

Azul Viagens, the leisure arm, is actively aligning its product development with the airline's network expansion. The tour operator grew 20% in 2025, even while the parent company was restructuring. The goal now is to balance the traditional domestic-Northeast focus with stronger outbound international packages, leveraging the anticipated new routes starting in 2026, such as Campinas-Madrid.

Here are some key operational and financial highlights related to the international focus in 2025:

• International business net revenue grew over 50% in 2Q25.
• International capacity increased over 30% year-on-year in 3Q25.
• Azul Viagens grew 20% in 2025.
• The company secured $1.6 billion in DIP financing.
• United and American Airlines committed up to $300 million in equity.

The company's estimated EBITDA for 2025 is R$7.4 billion, which management attributes partly to the robust growth in its business units, including the international segment.

Azul S.A. (AZUL) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Azul S.A. develops new offerings to grow revenue from its existing customer base. This is Product Development in the Ansoff Matrix, and it's all about adding value to the ticket you already sell them.

One clear area for this is integrating your existing travel services. While I don't have the exact figures for a specific one-invoice SME solution yet, we know Azul Viagens, your tourism operator, is a major growth engine. In 2024, travel packages saw a 48% increase compared to 2023. This momentum continued, with gross bookings in the second quarter of 2025 growing over 45% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Bundling airfare with dynamic hotel content for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a logical next step to capture more of that corporate travel spend on a single invoice.

Next, let's talk about enhancing the Azul Fidelidade loyalty program. This is a huge asset, as the program had over 18 million members in 2024. By the first quarter of 2025, that number was almost 19 million. To drive ancillary revenue, you're rolling out enhancements, including the announcement of new tiers like the Diamond Unique status, set to take effect in January 2026. This focus on premium loyalty tiers directly feeds into higher-margin ancillary revenue, which already saw a 21% year-over-year growth in the second quarter of 2025.

Introducing new premium services is also key here. The introduction of new cabin classes or premium service tiers on high-demand domestic and international routes is supported by fleet upgrades. You received four widebodies this year, which is driving a higher international capacity growth-it was up 36.8% year-over-year in 2Q25. This fleet flexibility helps support the overall capacity growth target of about 10% planned for 2025.

For the corporate segment, piloting cluster-based account management for large teams is about delivering a dedicated service layer. This moves beyond standard ticketing to offer a more tailored, high-touch experience for your biggest business clients. This focus on high-yield demand is reflected in the business units' overall contribution, which accounted for 22.5% of Unit Revenue (RASK) and 37.5% of EBITDA in the second quarter of 2025.

Finally, increasing the number of exclusive nonstop leisure routes directly leverages network uniqueness. You are already dedicating 25% of your capacity on weekends to these exclusive nonstop leisure routes. This strategy maximizes utilization during typically lower-demand periods for business travel, turning otherwise idle assets into revenue generators.

Here's a quick look at how the business units are performing, which underpins these product development efforts:

To keep this momentum going, you should map the expected spend increase from the new loyalty tier structure against the operational costs of dedicated corporate support teams. Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.
