When there are any irregularities with the passenger's taxpayer number, or when there is no taxpayer number in the Endorsement Box, a notification is sent whenever SATA Air Açores’s fares (RD/SD) are issued.
Its regularization must take place within a minimum of 48 hours before departure or up to 10 days after issuance, depending on which comes first.
Irregularity reasons:
- 1. Invalid taxpayer number: the number isn’t correct.
What to do: Correct the information, validate, and reissue the ticket before the trip starts.

Notes:
If the issuing agent fails to rectify irregularities, the passenger will be prevented from proceeding with his web check-in and may have additional payments.
Notifications will be sent to the email addresses in our database, so if you need to update yours, please email us at helpdesk.agents@sata.pt.
If there are any documents to prove eligibility (according to the fare rule), the ID and taxpayer number must appear in the endorsement box, as well as AUTHRES. Documents must remain in the possession of the issuing agent.
If the irregularity is not fixed, the ticket is subject to ADM.
