Global GSA Group has announced that its valued partner, Azul Brazilian Airline, has officially commenced online flight operations from Madrid (MAD). To announce and celebrate this important milestone to the Spanish market, Global GSA Group hosted a Brazilian-themed launch event in Madrid. As the exclusive General Sales Agent for Azul in Spain, Global GSA Group looking forward to supporting this strategic expansion and enhance cargo connectivity between Spain and Brazil.

The expanded network in Europe builds on Azul’s existing operations from Lisbon and Paris-Orly, now adding regular flights from Madrid (MAD) and Porto (OPO) to the carrier's growing network. The new flights, which began on 10 June 2025, are operated with A330 aircraft, offering 13 additional weekly services and a significant boost in cargo capacity, approximately 10 tons or 60 cubic meters per flight. The routes also include five weekly flights from Madrid to Viracopos (VCP) and three weekly flights from Madrid to Recife (REC), along with three weekly flights from Porto to Viracopos and two from Porto to Recife. These new connections between Spain and Portugal and Brazil further strengthen trade links between the regions.

“This development represents a key milestone in Azul’s international expansion,” said Aytekin Saray, Chief Executive Officer of Global GSA Group. “We are proud to strengthen Azul’s presence in Europe by delivering increased capacity and flexible solutions that benefit freight forwarders across the region. Madrid and Porto now join Lisbon and Paris as strategic gateways for South American cargo flows, offering even more seamless access to Brazil’s growing economy.”

With this expansion, Global GSA Group continues to cement its role as a trusted partner in global air cargo logistics.
