Portuguese airline TAP Air Portugal has announced the addition of three new seasonal routes to the United States, marking a significant expansion in its transatlantic operations. The new routes will connect Boston to Porto, Los Angeles to Lisbon, and San Francisco to Terceira in the Azores. This expansion will bring TAP's service next summer to eight US airports across eleven routes.
Carlos Antunes, TAP Air Portugal's Director for the Americas, explained that this move is part of a strategic growth plan. "This is the continued expansion of our footprint in the US in North America," he stated. The decision comes as TAP prepares for its 80th anniversary next year and aims to tap into high-demand areas with these new connections.
The Boston-Porto route is set to begin on May 14th, 2025, using an Airbus A321LR aircraft with 168 seats. It will operate four times weekly until October 25th. Antunes highlighted the demand from Boston's Portuguese community: "There's a strong, vibrant, participating Portuguese community in the region of Boston."
