Azul and Copa Airlines announce new codeshare and improved frequent flyer program agreements
Azul customers will benefit from Copa Airlines’ extensive network of 80 destinations in 32 countries in North, South, Central America and the Caribbean; Copa Airlines passengers will have access to the 101 destinations offered by Azul throughout Brazil
São Paulo, November 8, 2018
Azul and Copa Airlines announced a new codeshare agreement. From now on, two of the most relevant carriers in the region will be connected for the convenience of their customers. In Brazil, Copa’s customers will be able to enjoy the vast presence of Azul, which currently operates in 101 domestic cities, with 52 of these destinations being served by no other airline.
Azul will also add its AD code to Copa Airlines flights departing and arriving from Panama, allowing corporate customers in Brazil to connect, through the Hub of the Americas in Panama City, with the largest international air network in Latin America, which includes 80 destinations in 32 countries in North, Central, South America and the Caribbean. In addition, this new partnership allows both companies’ customers to buy one single ticket for their entire journey as well as check-in their baggage to final destination.
Azul and Copa Airlines also launched today an improved agreement between its loyalty programs. Customers of TudoAzul and ConnectMiles can now easily accumulate miles when flying with either carrier. Starting in December, customers will also be able to redeem miles earned on both airlines.
"This agreement between Azul and Copa Airlines is a perfect combination that offers incredible benefits for those arriving in Brazil through Panama. From the Hub of the Americas it is possible to reach nine Brazilian cities directly with Copa. The connection with Azul at these airports allows customers to conveniently access our 101 domestic destinations. In addition to this expanded connectivity, Azul offers a world-class on-board service with more than 40 live TV channels as well as complimentary snacks and drinks", said Abhi Shah, Vice President of Revenues, Azul.
"Copa Airlines is always looking for partnerships to offer the best travel experience and enhance our route network for our customers. This new partnership with Azul reinforces the company’s presence in Brazil as well as expands our connectivity domestically in this important country", said Dennis Cary, Commercial and Planning Senior Vice President, Copa Airlines.
"This codeshare agreement also allows us to offer more flight options to major cities in the Brazilian southeastern and northeastern regions to which we currently do not fly and which, through our Hub of the Americas, will be connected with Panama and the rest of the American continent bringing more opportunities and economic development to these cities", added Cary.
Operational performance is also another important benefit that this codeshare offers to our common customers. "This agreement brings together two of the most world-renowned airlines for on-time performance. Copa Airlines is the most punctual carrier in Latin America, while Azul is the most punctual carrier in Brazil. This ensures the best travel experience for our customers," added Shah.
After approval of the agreement by the regulatory authorities, customers of both airlines will be able to enjoy all of these benefits.
