Rodgerson, stated that “they need to look at what other countries are doing, like the United States, which is providing the airlines up to $50 billion in assistance.

Rodgerson stated the company will cancel a large number of flights, and that will create a lot of unemployment in the coming  months.

He also said that this unprecedented situation is many times worse than September 11 for the industry, and that without a healthy comercial aviation in Brazil, and without Azul Airlines, non one will buy Embraer jets.
