17.1Accounting policies
17.1.1Finite useful life
Intangible assets acquired are measured at cost at the time of their initial recognition. After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives, generally software, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, where applicable. Intangible assets generated internally, excluding development costs, are not capitalized and the expense is reflected in the statements of operations for the year when it was incurred.
17.1.2Indefinite useful life
17.1.2.1Goodwill
This category includes amounts related to goodwill arising from the business combinations of IntelAzul (TRIP Linhas Aéreas S.A.) and Conecta (Two Taxi Aéreo Ltda.). Goodwill is tested annually by comparing its carrying amount with its value in use. Management exercises judgment and establishes assumptions to assess the impact of macroeconomic and operational changes in order to estimate future cash flows and measure the recoverable amount of the assets.
17.1.2.2Rights of operations in airports (slots)
In the business combinations of IntelAzul (TRIP Linhas Aéreas S.A.) and Conecta, slots were acquired and recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date and are not amortized and is tested annually for impairment. The estimated useful life of these rights was considered indefinite due to several factors and considerations, including regulatory requirements and operating authorizations in Brazil, as well as the limited availability of operating rights at the most important airports in terms of air traffic volume. The carrying amount of the slots is tested annually by comparing the carrying amount with the value in use.

17.3Impairment of intangible assets without a finite useful life
On December 31, 2025, the Company carried out annual recoverability tests of the book value, through the discounted cash flow of the cash generating unit.
The assumptions used in the impairment tests of goodwill and slots are consistent with the Company's operating plans and internal projections, prepared for a period of five years. After this period, a perpetuity rate of growth of operating projections is assumed. The discounted cash flow that determined the value in use of the cash-generating unit was prepared according to the Company’s business plan.
The following assumptions were considered:
•Fleet and capacity: plan for operational fleet, utilization and capacity of aircraft in each route;
•Passenger revenue: revenue per seat per kilometer;
•Operating costs: specific performance indicators by cost line, as well as macroeconomic assumptions; and
•Investment needs: aligned with the Company’s business plan.
The macroeconomic assumptions commonly adopted include the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and projections of the US dollar, both obtained from the Focus Report issued by the Central Bank of Brazil, in addition to future kerosene barrel prices and interest rates, obtained from specific publications.
The result of the test demonstrated that the estimated recoverable value is greater than the carrying value allocated to the cash generating unit and, therefore, no adjusted to be recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.
