TAP Air Portugal will now operate its longest route—Los Angeles to Lisbon, spanning 5,690 miles—year-round instead of seasonally, after debuting the service on May 16, 2025 Initially scheduled through October, the route will continue during winter with three weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, using Airbus A330‑900neo aircraft This extension makes it TAP’s only nonstop connection between Southern California and Portugal, reinforcing its long-haul network and boosting connectivity for travelers. Transitioning from seasonal to year-round signals strong demand and confidence in cross-Atlantic travel. TAP’s move aligns with a broader airline trend of expanding long-haul nonstop routes using next-gen widebody aircraft.
