TAP Air Portugal celebrated five years of nonstop service from Montreal to Lisbon last week, with TAP Air Portugal’s Market Manager for North America, Fernanda Ottavio observing that: “It’s been a very successful first five years of service for TAP in Montreal.”

Ottavio continued: “In addition to Lisbon TAP offers connecting service to six cities in Portugal, extensive connectivity to more than 50 cities across Europe and Africa, and our award-winning Portugal Stopover program which enables travelers to spend as many as 10 days in Lisbon or Porto, in either direction, for no additional airfare and offering access to discounts and special offers from over 150 Partners across the country.”

TAP is Portugal’ s leading airline and has been a member of Star Alliance since 2005. Flying since 1945, TAP Air Portugal has its hub in Lisbon, a privileged access platform in Europe, at the crossroads with Africa, North, Central, and South America.

The carrier offers more than 1,250 weekly flights to 85 cities, which includes 7 airports in Portugal, 10 in North America, 14 in Central and South America, 12 in Africa and 42 in Europe (in addition to Portugal).

TAP operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, with all of Airbus’ next generation NEO aircraft: A320neo, A321neo, A321LR, and A330neo, with superior efficiency and reduced emission levels. TAP also operates 19 Embraer aircraft in its regional fleet (TAP Express).
