Chega/Açores questions Regional Government about Azores Airlines privatization

Sábado8 September 2026 at 13:35

The Chega/Açores party questioned the Regional Government of the Azores about the Azores Airlines privatization process. The party wants to know how the process is progressing and what the next steps are.

The questioning comes after the deadline for submitting purchase proposals for the Azorean airline ended. This milestone marks the company's divestiture process entering a new phase.

Chega/Açores officials consider that, after the closure of the proposal reception period, the process should advance with "transparency and rigor." The party wants to ensure that the entire operation proceeds clearly and within the established legal parameters.

The privatization of Azores Airlines is a relevant topic for the autonomous region, given the economic and social impact that the airline has on the Azores archipelago. The political debate around this issue should continue in the coming months.
