This offer will represent a 36% increase compared to the summer of 2023”, the airline added.
The airline acknowledged that “it wants to continue to consolidate the direct air operation between Porto and the Azores archipelago”.
At the same time, Azores Airlines “intends to enhance its offer in Porto and in the North American destination, a market to which it has been flying for more than two decades and which it now claims as a convenient alternative for those looking to travel between North America and Europe”.
