TAP Air Portugal has launched a route from Porto to Boston, operating four times a week with an A321neo.
The inaugural flight from Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport to Boston Logan International Airport was attended by Hugo Espírito Santo, Portugal’s Secretary of State for Infrastructure, Luís Rodrigues, President of TAP, and Thierry Liggonière, CEO of ANA Airports.
“TAP is bringing Porto closer to the rest of the world, favouring the mobility of residents and communities, while capturing and attracting important North American and Brazilian tourist flows to Porto and Northern Portugal,” said Rodrigues. “The TAP Group employs 368 workers at its base in Porto and indirectly generates hundreds of jobs in the tourism sector and through our suppliers.”
“This inaugural flight to Boston is a milestone that we are very proud of, resulting from continuous and collaborative work with TAP Air Portugal as strategic partners,” commented Liggonière. “We congratulate TAP for their commitment to Porto, which not only reinforces our connection to the North American market and the Portuguese diaspora but also confirms the role of Porto Airport as a strategic platform for the development of new international routes, with a focus on quality of service and sustainability.”
With this route, TAP now flies to Boston and Newark from Porto, and to Boston, Chicago, Miami, Newark, New York, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. from Lisbon.
