Bragança to Algarve Air Service Suspended Amid State Debt Crisis

Air Service Disruption

The airline service between Bragança and Algarve has been put on hold without a set date for resumption. The operator, Sevenair, has decided to halt flights due to a €3.8 million debt owed by the state.

Background

Since February, Sevenair has been operating under direct adjustments, while awaiting a formal bidding process. However, the ongoing financial issues have led to this unexpected suspension, affecting travelers who rely on this route.

Implications

The lack of flights raises concerns for both local residents and tourists, emphasizing the need for resolution regarding the state’s financial obligations to the airline.

With the contract ending this Monday, the future of air travel between these regions remains uncertain.
