A deal between Brazilian airline Azul and its lessors to swap more than $500 million in obligations for an equity stake is good news for planemaker Embraer, analysts say, as it reduces concerns about the debt load of a key customer. "A stronger Azul means a stronger Embraer," the carrier's chief executive, John Rodgerson, told Reuters on Tuesday after the deal with lessors was announced. Azul agreed to give them up to 100 million shares of the firm to eliminate obligations of around 3 billion reais ($541.16 million).
