“The team at Azul is a perfect partner for us because they share the same vision of growth through technology and best-in-class customer service,” said Tia Dayal, Head of Operations & Co-founder at SkySelect. “Innovation is a core tenet of Azul, as the airline strives for total organizational efficiency. We’re happy with what we’ve achieved together but certainly not fully satisfied. This is just the start of greater things to come,” she added further.
