The Government has said it will be launching an international tender to find a carrier for the route, imminently.
This comes after flights were increased to twice a day back in March.
The exciting AeroVip flight starts from the Alvor aerodrome in Portimão, and stops in Cascais, Viseu and Vila Real, before reaching its final destination, Bragança, and coming back again.
The service between the Algarve and northern Portugal takes approxim-ately two hours, depending on how many people board or deplane at each stop.
