TAP Air Portugal has launched a new route connecting Lisbon to Florianópolis, Brazil. Flight TP109 landed at Hercílio Luz International Airport on Tuesday, marking the inaugural flight for this three-times-weekly service.
Luís Rodrigues, TAP’s President, was among the passengers on the inaugural flight. He expressed his confidence in prospects for the new service. “We are confident that this route will be highly popular with both Brazilian and European travelers. The strong demand since we opened sales is a testament to this.”
“Adding Florianópolis to our network aligns with the growing demand for flights between Portugal and southern Brazil, reinforcing our commitment to being the preferred European airline for Brazilians,” Rodrigues concluded.
