It’s not to happen this year, but SATA has contracted the acquisition of new aircraft it intends to use in connections to North America. The mission of the Azorean airliner is “to take the Azores to the world, and the world to the Azores”, says SATA Group CEO Paulo Menezes.

SATA has been operating an Airbus fleet since 1999, made out of seven A310, A320 and A330, which have flown across the skies of Europe Canada and the United States. A tendency which is to increase, as the new machines chosen by SATA are to enable more of these connections, placing the Azores in a central position, half way between America and Europe, ideally situated to transport all thos wishing to visit the Azores.

The SATA fleet is to be modernized with the acquisition of various A321neo, and especially A321LR, with ranges of up to 4 thousand nautical miles transporting over 200 passengers and cargo.

The new flights from the US and Canada are to have practical connections to Madeira, allowing American and Canadian passengers easy access to Funchal airport.
