Company’s Million-Dollar Investments in Viracopos Are Expected to Generate Many Job Opportunities in the Region
In April of last year, even before debuting its hangar at Viracopos airport, Azul already employed around 4,000 people, divided between flight crew and ground staff. A little more than a year after the hangar’s inauguration, Azul employs about 400 people, with 250 of them hired just this year. See also: US$ 100 billion in investments are projected this year with infrastructure auctions for airports, ports, highways, and railways.
The company usually refers to all of its employees as crew members. Azul’s expectation is to reach the mark of 1,000 crew members by 2024. Azul has been growing throughout the country, a result that has also contributed to the growth of Azul’s operations in the RMC – Campinas Metropolitan Region.
Azul began operations at Viracopos Airport in 2008. Since then, operations at Viracopos have increased by 320%. Today, the location is one of the main and most strategic for cargo movement in Brazil.

Azul Invests Millions in Campinas to Support Growth in the Region
Azul had no doubt in making significant investments in Campinas for the growth of its operations in Brazil. The company made substantial investments in the area.
- Construction of the hangar, where around R$ 210 million was invested, generating many job openings;
- R$ 7.5 million in investments in the Azul Cargo Express Cargo Terminal;
- In addition to UniAzul, Azul’s corporate university, which provides about 30,000 training sessions for pilots and crew members annually;
John Rodgerson, president of Azul, emphasizes that Azul sees great potential in the municipalities of the RMC, where the company is developing together with the region.
“At the beginning of this year, for example, we imported the processes of installing Wi-Fi on our aircraft – which were previously done in the United States – to our hub in Viracopos. This is beneficial for the company, as it concentrates maintenance in one place, but it is also beneficial for the RMC because it contributes to the development of the region and the creation of opportunities with good pay. Today, the average salary of our crew members in the Campinas region, for example, is around R$ 5,000,“ he emphasized.
Azul has much to celebrate with its numbers in Campinas. There has been over 300% growth in the last 10 years, around 4,000 employees, the largest hub in South America, and more than 150 flights.
