Redacción - Aviación al Día

TAP Air Portugal continues to fine-tune its short- and medium-haul European network. The Portuguese airline has confirmed the launch of a new direct route between Lisbon and Athens, which will begin operating on July 1st, with five weekly frequencies between the two capitals.

The opening of this link is part of a clearly defined strategy aimed at capturing seasonal tourist demand, while also enhancing point-to-point connectivity between two markets with strong cultural appeal and growing leisure traffic.

During the summer months, the route will be operated with Airbus A320neo aircraft, while in winter, Embraer E190s will be used.

This adjustment suggests a refined reading of expected demand, combining cost efficiency with appropriate capacity based on passenger flow—particularly relevant in a market highly sensitive to seasonality like Greece.

Fares and Commercialization

Flights between Lisbon and Athens are already available on the airline’s official website and through travel agencies, with prices starting from 119 euros, including taxes.

In this way, TAP is making a clear, logical, and well-calibrated move. The Lisbon-Athens route connects two high-tourism-value capitals, allows for fleet flexibility, and fits into a strategy of selective growth within Europe.
