Brazil’s Azul eyeing bid for whole of LATAM Airlines.
Brazilian airline Azul is interested in buying the whole of Chile’s bankrupt LATAM Airlines Group and is ready to make an offer if creditors fail to agree on a restructuring plan, Azul Chief Executive John Rodgerson told Chilean newspaper Diario Financiero on Monday.
“We know exactly what we will offer,” Rodgerson said in the interview, adding that Azul would likely have to wait until Nov. 23 when a statutory limit on reaching a restructuring plan runs out.

“We would buy the whole asset. I believe that the group has a lot of value and we’re not thinking of splitting or selling divisions,” he said.
Rodgerson said that if LATAM manages to agree a restructuring, Azul would not be able to make its offer, but that all indications were that such an agreement would not be reached.
In the past, the airline has said it had no intention of selling any of its parts.
