In July 2026 Azul’s in‑flight magazine highlighted Bonito, positioning it as a benchmark for sport‑and‑nature ecotourism and encouraging passengers to consider alternative domestic routes.

Earlier in the year Azul Viagens announced a 34,000‑seat increase for João Pessoa, split between 7,000 low‑season seats (August‑December) and 27,000 high‑season seats from January 2027, responding to a 20 % rise in travel‑package sales and reinforcing the city’s status as a top domestic destination.

At the Nordestur tourism summit in João Pessoa, the airline detailed the new capacity, noting the airport handled nearly one million passengers in the first half of 2026. The plan also raised weekly frequencies to Belo Horizonte (Confins) from two to six flights, bringing total departures to 12 in peak periods and 13 in low‑season periods – a 20 % increase over 2025.

Concurrently, Azul Viagens launched exclusive travel packages linking direct flights from major Brazilian hubs to the newly opened Tauá Resort & Convention João Pessoa, the first beachfront Tauá resort. The resort offers 9,000 m² of pools, a surf simulator, a wave pool, a forthcoming indoor water‑park, and 1,128 rooms in its first phase, further diversifying Azul’s tourism offerings.
