Azores extends winter flights from Montreal & Ponta Delgada

Azores Airlines is extending the offer of direct flights between Ponta Delgada (Azores) and Montreal, Ponta Delgada and Faro, and Ponta Delgada and Milan throughout the IATA winter season (Oct. 27 to Mar. 29).

These three air operations, which began in April (Montreal) and June (Milan and Faro), allow Azores Airlines to consolidate its presence in markets with great growth potential, offering travellers the possibility of visiting the Azores destination outside the high season and, consequently, contributing to mitigating the seasonality of the destination.

At the same time, year after year, these Azores Airlines connections serve as convenient possibilities for those who wish to travel between Europe and North America with a stopover in the Azores. The complementarity provided by the connectivity of the routes enables the expansion of the potential for exploring point-to-point flights and the balance of tourist demand throughout the year.

Twice weekly flights

From Oct. 27, flights between Montreal and Ponta Delgada will be operated twice a week, on Monday and Saturday; direct flights between Faro and Ponta Delgada will take place on Thursday and Sunday; and flights between Ponta Delgada and Milan will be carried out weekly on Mondays.

The promotion of these routes with tour operators and local agents was carried out throughout the summer, in partnership with several local operators and through familiarization visits to the Azores destination, which brought travel agents, journalists, specialists, and digital influencers from these source markets, who were provided the opportunity to appreciate, in loco, the best that the Azores destination has to offer.

The IATA winter schedule, including the new flights here announced, is now available on booking systems and flights can be purchased at the airline’s sales channels, as well as through travel agencies.
