SATA Air Açores, the airline responsible for inter-island connections within the Azores Archipelago, will be implementing temporary adjustments to its flight schedule from July 17 to July 23. These changes are a direct result of a significant surge in passenger demand coupled with ongoing global supply chain challenges. These challenges have impacted the availability of aeronautical materials, leading to delays in the return to service of one of their Bombardier Q400 aircraft.
To ensure service continuity and accommodate the increased passenger volume, SATA Air Açores will be operating flights during this period using an Azores Airlines A320 family aircraft. This strategic decision allows for more efficient allocation of resources while minimizing the impact on scheduled flights.
Passengers whose bookings are affected by these schedule adjustments are being contacted directly by the airline. SATA Air Açores has arranged for rebooking to ensure that travelers can still fly on the same day, with departure times as close as possible to their originally scheduled flights. This proactive approach aims to minimize disruption to passengers’ travel plans.
SATA Air Açores sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience these temporary changes may cause. The airline appreciates the understanding and patience of its customers during this time and assures them that every effort is being made to restore normal operations as quickly as possible. SATA Air Açores remains committed to maintaining a high standard of service and reliability. These temporary measures are part of their ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
