TAP’s flights from Miami to Lisbon will be the shortest transatlantic crossing of any carrier to Europe (taking only 8 hours). From Lisbon, TAP Portugal is able to offer connections to all major destinations in Europe without having to geographically “backtrack”. Adding Miami to its extensive network of worldwide destinations increases the transatlantic lift between Miami and Europe by 2104 weekly passengers (2630 during the five weekly schedule increase in peak summer months). This new route strengthens TAP’s presence and expansion in North America, while solidifying their commitment to Miami as an important hub through which to capture passengers and cargo from diverse regions, including Central America and northern South America.
