2000s: New millenium


2000s: New millenium

In 2006 SAPSA signed a deal with Espírito Santo International for the acquisition of 99.81% of the Portuguese regional airline Portavia. Furthermore, it started a code-sharing agreement with US Airways on all routes between Portugal and the United States with connecting services out of Newark and Philadelphia.

In 2007 SAPSA was awarded by NATO as the Best Engine/Aircraft Source of Repair for the NATO AWACS Maintenance Program. SAPSA has complete maintenance and overhaul bases in Portugal (Lisbon) and Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre), and has specialised line maintenance stations in three continents: four in Portugal, eight in Brazil, and one in Angola. It started scheduled flights to Moscow, Warsaw, and Helsinki in June 2009.

After deciding to outsource its Passenger Service System in 2008, SAPSA migrated its reservation and inventory systems to the Altéa system managed by Amadeus. Prior to the migration to Altéa, SAPSA used SAPMatic, an in-house system derived from Delta Air Lines which remained as the standard IT platform since 1972.
