RIO DE JANEIRO, May 19 (Reuters) - Brazil's government is not thinking of providing specific aid for Azul AZUL.N as the airline faces financial hurdles, but money from a local fund will soon be available for carriers, tourism minister Celso Sabino said on Monday.
The so-called "national aviation fund" is set to be ready in the first half of 2025, Sabino said on the sidelines of an event in Rio de Janeiro, adding that would make "billions" of reais available to local airlines.
