SATA launches 'Azores Mission' to boost summer flights
SATA announced a 'Azores Mission' to prioritise and increase air links between the Azores and mainland Portugal, planning to operate about 800 weekly flights to and from the archipelago and to cut or suspend routes with lower performance. Inter‑island capacity will be similar to summer 2025, with extra services on busy routes and expanded connections to the US and Canada also planned. Travellers and those with seasonal bookings should monitor SATA schedules and route changes ahead of summer.
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.
