Context & Explainers
SATA is the Azores regional airline group that operates inter‑island services and international routes under the Azores Airlines brand, and is the primary air carrier linking the Azores with mainland Portugal and parts of Europe. For expats living in or visiting the islands, SATA provides the main year‑round connections and is often the only practical option for travelling between islands or to the continent.
