American Airlines cleared to invest $100 million in Brazil's Azul

American Airlines received approval from Brazil's competition authority, CADE, to invest US$ 100 million in Azul, a move that will allow both carriers to develop new commercial agreements and expand connections between Brazil and the United States.

The investment follows a long‑standing partnership that began in 2015 with a codeshare agreement linking the airlines' networks, and comes after United Airlines also invested US$ 100 million in Azul.
