SATA Air Açores, often simply referred to as SATA, is an airline based in the Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal in the North Atlantic Ocean. It operates domestic flights within the Azores as well as international flights to destinations in Europe and North America.
The airline was founded in 1941 and has played a crucial role in connecting the islands of the Azores, which are quite spread out across the Atlantic. Over the years, SATA has expanded its operations to include international routes, particularly to cities on the East Coast of North America and in mainland Portugal.
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, SATA was operating under the brand name Azores Airlines. However, please note that there may have been developments or changes in the airline's operations or branding after that time. For the most current and accurate information about SATA Azores or Azores Airlines, I recommend checking their official website or other reliable sources.
