Because of his dual US and Brazil citizenship, Neeleman is one of the very few people in the world who has opened airlines in multiple countries. He is still the largest shareholder in Azul.
Azul is now at an age where they are ready to do an IPO.
There has been speculation for years that B6 and Azul would link their route systems but so far the distance between even FLL and Azul's northernmost cities is beyond the range of either's aircraft - but that could change with newer versions of the 320 family.
