Discover even more beautiful islands of the Azores with Transavia: Smart Connect and Azores Airlines
From now on it is possible to combine a Transavia flight with an Azores Airlines flight. This makes it even easier for passengers to discover the various islands of the Azores. In addition to the route from Amsterdam to Ponta Delgada, Transavia now offers its passengers the opportunity to also fly to Horta on the island of Faial, Lajes on the island of Terceira and Pico and Santa Maria on the islands of the same name via a stopover. These various islands in the Azores can be reached via Lisbon, Porto and Funchal. This is made possible by the introduction of Transavia Smart Connect, in collaboration with Dohop.
“Smart Connect knows how to cleverly link different flights. With the user-friendly platform, we offer our passengers more convenience when searching for combined flights and offer them the opportunity to discover even more beautiful islands of the Azores. The partnership with Azores Airlines is the first of many new collaborations in which we use Smart Connect,” says Charles Verstegen, lead commercial at Transavia.
To offer this service, Transavia works with Dohop. Dohop is an Icelandic company specialized in arranging flight trips with a stopover, which is also called virtual interlining. Dohop helps Transavia with the technology and the necessary platform. Dohop is also responsible for the 'connection service'. This means that Dohop will arrange a new flight and any hotel accommodation for passengers who do not catch their flight due to circumstances such as delay or cancellation.
“We are very pleased to join Transavia in such innovative idea, as the pioneer partner airline in this project. We are confident that our collaboration with Transavia Smart Connect will maximize passenger travel experience, providing a seamless way to connect with the Azores,” says Mario Chaves, Chief Commercial Officer at Azores Airlines.
