TAP hits transatlantic flights milestone
TAP Air Portugal has surpassed the one million milestone on transatlantic flights to the US and Canada.
It has carried over a million passengers on its North American routes so far this year.
It reached the milestone in late September which represents a 23% increase in comparison to the same time in 2022.
TAP’s inaugural flight to the US took off 54 years ago in 1969 touching down at New York’s JFK Airport.
TAP’s network includes transatlantic flights to seven US cities from Lisbon and Porto.
These are New York, Newark, Boston, Washington D.C, Chicago, San Francisco, and Miami.
The carrier also operates daily to Toronto and Montreal.
In 2024, TAP will offer its most extensive flight network yet to North America from Portugal, operating 91 flights each week.
Routes to Toronto will see an increase in weekly flights from 10 to 13 and flights to San Francisco rise from five to six per week.
In July this year, TAP also surpassed the one million customer milestone carried on its Brazilian routes, representing growth of 30%.
TAP currently flies to 11 cities in Brazil across 13 routes.
Beginning next month, TAP will increase flight frequencies to its 11 Brazilian destinations to 81 weekly flights.
TAP also operates from three UK destinations – London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Manchester as well as offering flights from Dublin.
