TAP Air Portugal used a 27 February 2026 network update to unveil an ambitious Brazil growth plan that coincides with the carrier’s 60 years of service to the country. From 2 July 2026 TAP will launch three weekly Airbus A330-200 flights from Lisbon to Curitiba, while from 26 October it will inaugurate twice-weekly A321LR services to São Luís do Maranhão.
In addition, frequencies on existing Lisbon–Porto Alegre and Lisbon–Florianópolis routes will rise to four per week for the 2026-27 IATA winter season. The airline already serves 11 Brazilian gateways—more than any foreign carrier—and says the expansion reflects sustained demand from VFR (visiting-friends-and-relatives), corporate and inbound tourism segments.
