Sata Email Addresses

Sata is unlike some other airlines in that they offer customer service emails. If you’re looking for a reliable way to contact the airline and you want to do so in writing, email is definitely the way to go.

Contact Sata on the Customer Service Form

Email is a great way to write to the airline, but if you have a complaint about flight disruptions or other matters that could result in compensation, we recommend using Sata’s complaint form as seen in the image below.

This method is particularly useful if you are filing a compensation claim based on Regulation EU 261. Under these rules, you could get up to €600 for flights delayed by at least 3 hours at your final destination as long as you are flying to, from, or within the EU. 

Also, the Montreal Convention requires airlines to pay passengers up to €1,599 for mishandled baggage.

We arrived for our flight which was supposed to be at 9:50 but after having boarded the plane we were sent back to the airport where we ended up waiting over 8 hours for our flight, missing our bus, which led to being a much more expensive purchase as well as losing the ride we arranged from the airport. Our dog had to stay an extra night at a dog sitter costing an extra 20 euros. Tomorrow is our 20th wedding anniversary which we were planning on celebrating but we’re going to be too tired, as we will only be arriving home at 4am. This is not counting the flight on our to the island where we were stuck in the plane for an additional 3/4 hours.

After finding out our SATA flight (booking #WW3IES - Flight #S4366) to Funchal was cancelled at Toronto Lester B. Pearson Airport (YYZ) at the airport check-in counter three hours before scheduled boarding, with no prior notice, we (Lubomir Martchenko & Stephanie Susanna Grace Vicherek) called the Sata phone number provided by the airport check-in counter staff when we were informed of the cancellation. This phone call costed me over 49$ due to long distance charges. The only thing offered at the airport was a phone number, meal voucher, and an apology - no explanation. We were subsequently rerouted from Toronto to Ponta Delgada on June 1, 2024, (S40332) and Ponta Delgada to Madeira on June 3, 2024 (S40160). In Ponta Delgada, we had to pay for a hotel for a night and a taxi to/from the airport from our own money. Like all of the other passengers, we were not informed of this cancellation beforehand, only found at check-in at the departure airport, and were not offered any options to depart no more than three hours before the scheduled time of departure and to reach our final destination no more than four hours after the scheduled time of arrival. We arrived at our final destination 38.25 hours later than the original scheduled time of arrival. The flight distance of flight S4366 from Toronto, Canada, to Madeira, Portugal, is 5500.738 km. As a result, we missed over two days of our trip which we had already paid for (car rental, accommodation, tours etc.) and arrived to our destination, Madeira, nearly two days later than planned. Please note that this flight was the first ever scheduled direct flight by SATA from Toronto to Funchal in history - this is likely why it was cancelled. Please see the booking information attached (Email and Receipt from Booking Agent - GoToGate), and the email from SATA in response to my original complaint / demand for compensation which confirmed the booking reference number (also attached). SATA never replied to me after or offered compensation of any sort. I attempted to pursue this claim case with AirHelp, your competitor, and it was set to go to court but they asked for over 20 Power of Attorney Agreements and communication with them was very difficult. As a result, I closed the case with AirHelp and have a Reassignment Agreement proving this. I am hoping that AirAdvisor can do better and have a lesser fee.

see also claim nr 422530. The extra costs of 428 euro are for 2 tickets, and are also claimed already by Johannes Theodorus Kloosterman in claim 422530. On the 2th of september 2024 we were supposed to fly from Ponta Delgada, Azores, to Lisbon, mainland Portugal, at 9:50 am with flight S40122 by Sata Air Azores. We were at the airport early, and checked in. Until the scheduled boarding time there was no sign of a major problem, we were waiting at the gate and some delay was announced, without information on the screens. This repeated a few times, until, after about 3 hours waiting at the gate, the flight was canceled. The announcement said we had to pick up our luggage again, and SATA Air Azores would book us a new flight at 0:25 am the next day. There was no futher assistance offered by SATA airlines. Because we were going to miss our connecting flight from Lisbon to Rotterdam, we had to make new arrangements, cancel our original flights, and book 2 new tickets, which costed us an extra 428 euro. After that we waited in line for 2 more hours to get some meal vouchers and a taxi voucher from SATA Air Azores to go into town. The alternate flight, with number S43122, went according to schedule, we arrived finally at Lisbon airport very early in the morning, at about 3:40 am, with a delay of 14,5 hours. We tried to get some sleep on a bench at the airport. Our flight to the Netherlands, with Transavia, took off without delays and we were at home 1 day later than planned, on the 4th of september 2024. We tried another claim service already. They gave up because Azores Airlines is not responding, it seems that is how they avoid paying. We waited once for more than a year, but we don't mind waiting.
