Starting June 3, the Portuguese airline has added a new stop to its weekly flight between Lisbon and San Francisco: Terceira Island in the Azores archipelago. This service, operated every Tuesday with an Airbus A330neo, offers a direct link between the Atlantic island and the Californian city, making travel easier for a community of over 300,000 people of Azorean descent in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strengthening Portugal\u2019s Presence in North America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new stop in Terceira is part of TAP\u2019s recent expansions to its transatlantic network. On May 14, the airline launched a direct route between Porto and Boston, with four weekly flights\u2014available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays\u2014running until October 25. Just two days later, on May 16, the company introduced service between Lisbon and Los Angeles, with flights on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/05\/tap-portugal-reports-e108-million-loss-in-q1-2025.html\">TAP Portugal Reports \u20ac108 Million Loss in Q1 2025<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These routes reflect the growing tourist interest between the two countries and the demand from the Portuguese diaspora in North America. The decision to include a stop in Terceira is specifically aimed at serving this community and positioning the Azores as a more prominent destination on the U.S. tourist radar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this strategic move, TAP Air Portugal continues to expand its route network intelligently, catering to both the diaspora and travelers seeking authentic experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-815d8787     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-2 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"202\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Aeropuerto-tocumen-Terminal-2-380x190.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Tocumen 2030: Hub of the Americas Projects 30 Million Passengers and a Strategic $220 Million Expansion<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uagb-post__text uagb-post__cta wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link uagb-text-link\" style=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/tocumen-2030-hub-of-the-americas-projects-30-million-passengers-and-a-strategic-220-million-expansion.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Read More<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia.webp 800w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Aeropuerto-Internacional-de-Maiquetia-380x190.webp 380w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2026\/04\/rebirth-of-a-hub-caracas-emerges-as-a-strategic-competitor-in-latin-america-iata-say.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Rebirth of a Hub?
