As Azul Cargo Express approaches its decade of connecting Campinas, the company's main hub in Brazil, to the United States, it is celebrating the impressive figures of its operations. Since 2014, the routes to Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Orlando (MCO) have transported more than 115.129.055 kilos of cargo, equivalent to 115.129 tons, an average of 1.001.122 kilos per month (1.001 tons), consolidating the relevance of the logistics unit in the connection between the two countries.
In addition to serving Fort Lauderdale and Orlando directly, Azul Cargo Express has a land transportation network in the United States, expanding the reach of deliveries to all American cities. Cargo is flown to FLL and MCO airports, and from there, the final leg is handled by commercial partners specialized in land transportation. This multimodal model ensures that high-value, sensitive or perishable cargo is delivered with the agility and security that the market demands.
Highlights of operations over the decade
Among the items transported by Azul Cargo Express throughout this decade, unusual and complex operations stand out, such as:
- Live hibernating lobsters transported to Miami. After being placed in a temperature- and oxygen-controlled hibernation state, they are “awakened” before being transported to China, where they remain active for three days until they are prepared for consumption.
- Fertile eggs, sent from Miami to Brazil, to supply the national poultry industry.
- Tuna and coastal fish transported to Miami.
- Panettone, butter, cheese, pastry dough and cheese bread, sent to Miami and Orlando.
- Vaccines and respirators, transported in refrigerated conditions to Miami.
- Pickup truck engines, shipped to Miami.

- Aluminum, transported from national soil to Charlotte.
- Espresso coffee capsules, sent from Brazil to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, with final destination in Mexico.

Our logistics structure allows us to connect Brazil to the rest of the world in a unique way, transporting everything from essential cargo for American industry to unusual and high-value items.
