The SATA group received 11 interested parties in the purchase of handling, the ground assistance service for aircraft. This number is higher than the number of interested parties in Azores Airlines, the group's airline.
The process is advancing and the Azorean group will now analyze the documentation presented by the candidates. This analysis will determine which interested parties meet the requirements to proceed with the sale process.
Handling is a fundamental service for airport operations, encompassing operations such as boarding and disembarking of passengers, and loading and unloading of baggage. The sale of this business unit is part of the SATA group's restructuring.
The high interest in handling contrasts with the lower interest in Azores Airlines, which may indicate that potential buyers consider the ground assistance services business more attractive than the airline operation.
