The process to obtain an AOC never progressed nor went beyond the basic phases. The company never had its own plane, its website has been offline for a long time and the CEO has not commented on the process of creating Nella for years. Not to mention that the company was involved in the purchase of Amaszonas from Bolivia and Albatros Airlines from Venezuela and both went wrong. There is a lot of criticism in the Brazilian press about the CEO and about the feasibility of Nella Linhas Aéreas, which seems to be more of a dream of a citizen who releases information in the media to gain visibility in an attempt to obtain some capital. Therefore I propose that the article be deleted.}} ~~~~ |

On July 19, 2021, NELLA announced the purchase of Albatros Airlines and had its corporate image and trade name changed to Albatros Airlines by Nella.[8] On August 10, 2021, it announced the purchase of Línea Aérea Amaszonas for U$50 million, which anticipated their operations.[10]
In November 2021, NELLA announced its strategy of expanding operations with the re-launch of Líneas Aéreas Paraguayas.[11][12] However, this has not happened yet.

In September 2023, NELLA sold off Amaszonas to a businessman, due to a dispute with the Bolivian authorities over a non-payment with a lessor.[15]
