Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are available 24/7 directly outside the arrivals terminal. It is a convenient and direct way to get to the main cities of Angra do Heroísmo (a 20-25 minute drive) or the nearby Praia da Vitória (a 5-minute drive). Fares are metered.

Rental Cars

Multiple car rental agencies, including major international companies (Hertz, Sixt, Europcar) and local providers (Ilha Verde, Wayzor), have service desks inside the arrivals hall. Renting a car is a very popular option for exploring the island. It is highly recommended to book in advance, especially during the peak summer season, to ensure availability and better pricing.

Public Transportation

Public bus service is operated by the company EVT (Empresa de Viação Terceirense). The bus stop is located outside the terminal. While it is the most economical option, the service is infrequent and may not align well with flight arrival or departure times, especially on weekends and holidays. It is essential to check the current schedule in advance if you plan to use the bus.

Lost-comms procedure Posted by david on November 17, 2022

From problem report:

"

In communication failure of Lajes airport notes :

If IFR (TACAN equipped) climb/descend to FL60 and proceed to IAF (WENDY), upon reaching start TACAN or ILS approach.

- If IFR (Non TACAN equipped) climb/descend to 4700' and proceed to GP NDB, upon reaching start NDB approach.

Please , How can I have the procedure of NDB and waypoint ( WINDY ) because not found in approach charts ??!!"
