TAP Air Portugal has strengthened its access to Brazil by resuming services to Manaus.
TAP officially resumed flights to Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, with flight TP51 from Lisbon on 4 November arriving at Manaus – Eduardo Gomes International Airport later that day.
The service is operated using an A321 neo aircraft, which can carry 154 passengers (138 in economy and 16 in business). The 11-hour and 45-minute flight includes a stopover in Belém.
TAP flies between Lisbon and Manaus on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing Lisbon at 10:35 and arriving in Manaus at 18:20 the same day. From the capital of Amazonas, flights leave at 19:35 and arrive in Lisbon at 11:10 the following day.
“We are delighted to resume flights to Manaus, which is a gateway to the rich biodiversity of the Amazon. This connection reaffirms our commitment to Brazil and to tourism in the region, offering new opportunities for European travellers to get to know the region and for Brazilians to have another direct channel of access to Europe,” said Luís Rodrigues, President of TAP.
Wilson Lima, Governor of Amazonas, said: “We have a very strong connection with Portugal in terms of the community and culture, as well as a strong, co-operative friendship. We are very happy with the investments that have been made and the airline’s willingness to be present here in Amazonas with flights three times a week.”
TAP Air Portugal flies more than any other airline between Europe and Brazil, with almost 100 flights a week from 13 of the South American country’s capital cities.
TAP Air Portugal flies directly from Lisbon to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belém, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Natal, Maceió, Porto Alegre, Recife, Salvador, Florianópolis and Manaus, while also connecting Porto to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In total, TAP directly connects 13 Brazilian cities (15 routes from Lisbon and Porto) to Portugal.
For 10 consecutive years, TAP has been voted Europe’s Leading Airline to South America by the World Travel Awards, in recognition of its excellent service. In addition, in 2023 it received the MICE Awards for Best European Company.
