Chega wants to know how much Ryanair cost the Azores

Observador28 August 2026 at 23:38

The Chega party revealed that it intends to find out how much the airline company Ryanair's operation cost the Azores. The question arises following an interpelation to the Regional Government about the costs associated with the air carrier's presence in the archipelago.

The party questions the Executive's plan to "recover routes, seats, and competition" in the aviation sector. Chega's leaders argue that a clear strategy is needed to allow Azorean tourism to grow sustainably.

Additionally, the party requests clarification on the financial amounts paid by VisitAzores, the organization responsible for tourism promotion in the region. The political formation wants to understand what public investment was made to attract and maintain these air connections.
