Flores (Corvo) : private jet rental

Flores (Corvo) : introduction

Europe’ s westernmost jewel, the island of Flores in the Azores archipelago, is a nature sanctuary classified as a biosphere reserve by UNESCO, famous for its waterfalls, volcanic lagoons and cliffs plunging into the Atlantic. Its airport, at Santa Cruz das Flores, has a 1,400-metre runway suitable for turboprops and certain light jets, as well as gateway airport status. Private aviation access to the western Azores is via Flores, with the tiny, unspoilt neighboring island of Corvo connected by a short regional air link or by sea. With its hiking, whale-watching and unspoilt landscapes, the region appeals to a clientele in search of authentic nature and exclusivity. Find out more about Flores airport with AEROAFFAIRES.
