## Description

São Jorge Airport (IATA: SJZ, ICAO: LPSJ) is located in Velas on São Jorge Island, Azores, Portugal, at approximately 95 metres — the only airport on the elongated, cliff-lined island of São Jorge, known for its fajãs (lava platforms) and the semi-hard cheese Queijo de São Jorge. SATA connects the island inter-island. No commercial cargo operations. For larger shipments, Lajes Airport (IATA: TER) is the nearest cargo option.
