## Description

More than 200,000 passengers a year pass through Horta Airport (IATA: HOR, ICAO: LPHR) on Faial, the Azorean island whose harbour is the self-declared world capital of blue-water sailing. SATA Air Açores runs inter-island services, while Azores Airlines and TAP link Horta to Lisbon. No freighters operate here: air cargo moves as belly load handled by SATA, and the islands' heavier goods arrive by sea. For larger air consignments, forwarders consolidate through Lajes/Terceira (TER) or mainland Portugal.
