The read on Azul
What the record actually tells you about flying Azul
Azul runs about 86% on time across 1,659,697 flights of official airline-controllable history — one of the better on-time records in the data. On cancellations, cancellations are on the high side at 2.6%, which can matter more than a delay.
It's not just whether a flight is late, but how late. When Azul runs behind, the typical delay lands around 9 minutes, and only a small slice — about 1.1% — slip two hours or more, so the worst-case tail is relatively contained.
Reliability isn't uniform across Azul's map. Its strongest route in the data is PMW–GYN, running around 97% on time, while LIS–VCP is among its weakest at about 48%. That gap is the whole point: judge Azul on the route you're actually flying, not on its overall average.
