Fewer passengers disembarked at the ports of the Azores in the month of July

Açoriano Oriental30 August 2026 at 12:25

The number of passengers who disembarked at the ports of the Azores in the month of July was 86,648, according to the available data.

The passengers referred to are those from inter-island travels, meaning displacements between the various islands of the Azores archipelago.

This value represents a decrease of 3,878 passengers compared to the same period of the previous year, corresponding to a decline of 4.5%.

This decrease in the number of inter-island passengers at Azorean ports indicates a reduction in the movement of travelers between the islands of the archipelago during the month of July.
