Levu
Levu is a Brazilian cargo airline operating scheduled domestic freight services from its Campinas base with Airbus freighter aircraft.
About Levu
Levu Air Cargo is a privately held Brazilian freight airline founded in 2022 under the corporate name Levu Transporte Aéreo e Logística de Cargas S.A. It received its Brazilian air operator certification in November 2024 and began building a scheduled cargo operation serving the country’s principal logistics markets. The airline’s documented Brazilian identity and LVU designator are distinct from the legacy 6V and MRW codes associated with the former Ukrainian operator Mars RK.
The airline is based at Viracopos International Airport in Campinas, one of Brazil’s most important air-cargo gateways. Its published network links Campinas with Recife and Manaus, while additional service connects Recife, Belém and Manaus. These routes give Levu access to major commercial centres in southeastern, northeastern and northern Brazil, including the industrial and distribution market surrounding the Manaus Free Trade Zone.
Levu’s initial fleet is centred on the Airbus A321-200 passenger-to-freighter conversion, a narrow-body aircraft suited to domestic and regional cargo sectors. The company has also discussed introducing Airbus A330 converted freighters as its operation expands. Because Levu carries freight rather than ticketed passengers, it does not offer passenger cabins, seating classes, checked-baggage allowances or conventional onboard service.
Levu is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld, whose benefits and coordinated networks are primarily designed for passenger airlines. It does not operate a consumer frequent-flyer programme. Its commercial proposition instead focuses on cargo capacity and logistics partnerships, including cooperation with DHL Supply Chain for dedicated freighter operations within Brazil.
A key strength is Levu’s use of Viracopos, which has extensive freight infrastructure and strong road access to the São Paulo region. The A321 freighter can also serve markets that do not require a wide-body aircraft. The principal challenge is scale: Levu is a young operator with a small fleet and a limited published network, so schedules, capacity and destinations may change as aircraft are introduced and customer contracts develop.

8 common questions
- The principal departure point is Viracopos International Airport in Campinas. Recife is another important station within Levu’s northern and northeastern cargo routing.
- Levu does not have a passenger carry-on allowance because it operates cargo flights rather than ticketed passenger services. Freight acceptance is governed by shipment-specific weight, size, packaging and safety requirements.
- Levu’s longest sectors are within its domestic cargo network linking southeastern Brazil with northern markets such as Manaus. The precise longest scheduled sector can vary with the routing and operating timetable.
