Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras
Self-handled by Azul Linhas Aéreas: independently confirmed via Wikipedia/DECEA-AISWEB that Azul is the sole scheduled carrier at IPN (daily flights to Belo Horizonte/Confins). Azul directly employs its own station staff there (recruits for 'Agente Aeroporto - IPN' positions) rather than contracting a third-party GSA; no separate ground handler identified at this small station.

Azul Cargo Express
Off-airport cargo/logistics agency in Ipatinga (Av. Altina Gonçalves, 20, Bairro Iguaçu) handling freight carried in the belly hold of Azul's IPN-CNF flights and Azul's wider air-cargo network. Explicitly tied to IPN-CNF service rather than a generic group-level claim; off-field agency location is standard/expected for a small station like IPN.
