FLEET - euroAtlantic Airways adds second A330-300, expanding widebody capacity

euroAtlantic Airways (“EAA”), a Njord Partners portfolio company and a Portuguese ACMI and charter airline,has added a second Airbus A330-300 leased from Jackson Square Aviation (JSA), further expanding its widebody capacity.

The second aircraft arrived in Portugal, on 28 October 2026, bringing EAA’s total fleet size to eight.
The first aircraft, CS-TGI, has already been inducted into EAA’s Air Operator Certificate and is operating commercial flights, including short-term ACMI and charter assignments.

The second aircraft, an Airbus A330-300 which will carry the registration CS-TGJ, will now go through induction into EAA’s Air Operator Certificate, subject to the usual regulatory approvals. 

Both aircraft are leased from JSA and seat 290 passengers across three classes.
The addition of the second aircraft strengthens EAA’s ability to serve a diversified range of customer requirements across global markets. In line with its long-term plans, EAA is well positioned for continued disciplined growth and will further expand its fleet in the years ahead.

Pauls Calitis, CEO of euroAtlantic Airways, said: “CS-TGI is already flying for ACMI and charter customers, and CS-TGJ will follow once its induction is complete. 

Two aircraft with the same specifications mean we can offer passengers a consistent product and plan crews and maintenance around a single standard. 

We thank Jackson Square Aviation for their continued support.” 

Kevin McDonald, CEO of Jackson Square Aviation, added: “Placing our second A330 with euroAtlantic builds on the first aircraft Jackson Square delivered this summer. 

We look forward to continuing our partnership and seeing this aircraft support euroAtlantic’s global ACMI and charter network.”

ROUTES - SATA Group promotes Azores- Porto routes in Vigo

SATA Group airlines partnered with Visit Azores for a destination promotion event in Vigo, Galicia, bringing together institutional representatives, travel agents and tour operators from across the Spanish market.

The initiative aimed to strengthen the visibility of the Azores among travelers in Galicia, while highlighting the Azores Airlines routes linking Porto with São Miguel and Terceira.

During the IATA Winter 2026/2027 season, these services will operate with increased frequencies compared with the previous winter schedule, offering a total of 19 weekly flights.

Vigo was chosen to host the event due to the strategic importance of the Galician market and its proximity to Porto's Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, from which Azores Airlines operates regular services to the Azores.

Separated by just 150 kilometers, Porto and Vigo belong to the same cross-border catchment area and offer significant potential to attract travelers from north-western Spain, a market with growing demand for nature-based tourism and authentic travel experiences.

Organized in partnership with Visit Azores, the event followed a workshop format, allowing tourism partners to present their products and services directly to travel trade professionals.

Participants were also invited to sample a selection of Azorean products, offering a taste of the destination's distinctive identity and cultural heritage.

Through initiatives such as this, SATA Group continues to support the promotion of the Azores in key growth markets, leveraging the connectivity provided by the Azores Airlines network to stimulate demand and strengthen awareness of the destination.
