Azores Airlines offers the most flights to/from the Azores. In addition to offering nonstop flights, Azores Airlines also offers the Azores Stopover program that allows stopovers of up to seven days to explore the Azores before heading onto your final destination. Other airlines serving the Azores include United from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), TAP Air Portugal from Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), Lufthansa from Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) and Munich International Airport (MUC), Ryanair from Porto’s Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), Iberia from Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD), and British Airways from London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Edelweiss Air from Zurich Airport (ZRH), Condor and Eurowings from Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), and a host of other European cities with flights from easyJet, Jet2, SmartWings, TUI Air, Transavia, Wizz Air.
Graça Silva, Director of Sales, Marketing and Communication, said:
The new bets are the result of concerted efforts with several agents and business partners. It provides more options for passengers who want to reach the Azores and more opportunities or those who wish to travel between Europe and North America. These investments will consolidate the sustained growth trajectory seen at the airline in recent years.”
Anthony’s Take: Azores Airlines continues to add nonstop routes within Europe and some exciting additions to North America. I’ve been to Portugal many times, but never to the Azores. These islands are definitely on the list.
