Skyport confirms the connection won’t return next summer amid airline route changes
Air service between Bermuda and the Azores will not return next summer, Skyport has confirmed.
A spokesperson explained: “Whilst Skyport is equally disappointed in the suspension of the SATA Azores International services from Ponta Delgada, airlines consistently evaluate and adjust routes based on strategic, financial, and operational factors.
“We continue to work closely with several airlines in conjunction with the Bermuda Airport Authority and the Bermuda Tourism Authority to ensure Bermuda has adequate airlift and expanding destinations.”
While the specific reason for suspending the flight remains unclear, The Bermuda Flyer reported to social media that Azores Airlines had cited financial difficulties for the route cancellation, which was among four others.
The Skyport spokesperson added: “Despite the loss of this service, Bermuda continues to have a record number of non-stop gateways, with additional options commencing in the Summer of 2025.”
