Sao Tome and Principe connected again

STP Airways - the national airline of São Tomé and Príncipe has signed a wet lease contract with Portugal’s regional operator Sevenair to operate flights between the country’s islands.

For the operation a Bae Jetstream 32 aircraft with capacity up to 19 passengers was deployed and will offer 2 daily frequencies for each route, one rotation in the morning and another in the afternoon on a total of 4 legs per day. 

This allows up to 38 passengers per day for each side and also allows people to be able to return on the same day without the need of a layover for the night.

Apart from the crews deployed some maintenance staff from sister company Sevenair Maintenance, an EASA approved Part 145 company, were also deployed and will support the necessary line maintenance for the operation.

“This partnership with STP Airways and its largest shareholder EuroAtlantic Airways makes us all very proud and we hope it can be expanded and last for many years, strengthening the bond between the two Portuguese Airlines,” a Sevenair spokesperson said..

Sevenair throughout the years has become an expert in PSO (Public Service Obligation) and ACMI contracts having operated in Madeira, Azores, Guernsey, Cape Verde, Estonia, Morocco, and Algeria
