The launch of a new direct route by TAP Air Portugal between Lisbon and Athens marks a strengthening of the airline’s presence in the Greek market and an enhancement of air connectivity between Greece and Portugal.

The new route will commence on 1 July and will be operated with five weekly flights. During the summer season, services will be operated with Airbus A320neo aircraft, while Embraer E190 aircraft will be deployed during the IATA winter season, ensuring capacity is aligned with demand.

As stated in the company’s official announcement from Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport, departures will operate at 21:30 every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, arriving at Athens International Airport at 03:40 the following day. In the reverse direction, flights will depart from Athens at 04:40 every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with arrival in Lisbon at 07:15 local time.

This new connection strengthens the network between the two capitals, expanding travel options for both leisure and business passengers, while also fostering increased tourism flows and commercial links between the two countries.
