Name That Airline: Air Azul Changes Everything Before It Even Takes Off

April 29, 2009 at 9:29 AM | by kjb | 1 Comment

Not too long ago Air Azul jumped onto the scene promising flights from Toledo to Newark. Well before they even had a chance to kick the tires and light the fires, the airline is taking a little break. Instead of starting flights in June, flights are pushed back until at least July.

Originally, their services were going to be offered thanks to a little help from the charter company Sun Country Airlines. However, Sun Country recently sent a letter to all passengers that had booked on Air Azul to let them know that they’d have to rebook as they were no longer affiliated with Air Azul. Thankfully we were still on the fence, and didn’t book that bike trip across Ohio yet.

Adding to this short saga, they’re already uncertain about their name, and are looking to reveal a new one on May 4. We’re hoping for something like Periwinkle Plane Company or maybe just BlueBird—isn’t that already taken by a school bus company? No matter their name, they are planning to offer introductory flights for just $9 one-way, before taxes and fees. This sounds just like another Ohio-based airline to us, let's not get too excited.

If you’ve got a better name for Air Azul, ideally one that is not related to the color blue in any way, let us know in the comments below.

    so glad

    So glad I didn't book my tickets yet either. It's not every day that an airline even flies up in that area, let alone offer low fares for it. As for airline names, how about "Walleye Air?" I'd fly that.
