This figure represents a historic record for the company and solidifies its position as one of the main air links between the two continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New High that Strengthens Transatlantic Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The volume of travelers recorded surpasses the previous result achieved earlier in 2024, confirming the airline&#8217;s sustained growth in this key market. This achievement reinforces TAP&#8217;s strategic role in transatlantic connectivity and underscores the importance of air traffic between Portugal and Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manaus, Setting for the Record Celebration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The symbolic moment of the record was celebrated in Manaus, with the arrival of flight TP51 from Lisbon. The choice of this city was no coincidence. On November 4, the capital of the state of Amazonas had commemorated the first anniversary of the Lisbon-Manaus route, a connection that has become a key point for expanding TAP&#8217;s presence in northern Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/aviacionaldia.com\/en\/2025\/11\/iag-joins-bidding-for-tap-alongside-air-france-klm-and-lufthansa.html\">IAG Joins Bidding for TAP, Alongside Air France-KLM and Lufthansa<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark the arrival of the passenger who represented this record, TAP organized a special reception at Manaus Airport, in collaboration with Amazonastur and Vinci Airport. The event included speeches and tributes highlighting the significance of this route within the airline&#8217;s network. Furthermore, TAP&#8217;s Miles&amp;Go program awarded the traveler 150,000 bonus miles in recognition of being part of this historic moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TAP&#8217;s Vision on the Brazilian Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carlos Antunes, Director of TAP for the Americas, emphasized the relevance of this achievement and the weight of the Brazilian market in the company&#8217;s strategy. He explained that the record reached on the Europe-Brazil route reflects passengers&#8217; trust in TAP and Brazil&#8217;s strategic importance. He also highlighted the symbolic value of celebrating this milestone in Manaus, as the Lisbon-Manaus connection reinforces the airline&#8217;s commitment to linking northern Brazil with Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new record, TAP Air Portugal strengthens its position as a key player in air links between Europe and Brazil, relying on strategic routes and sustained demand that continues to reach historic highs.<\/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-9e302684     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?
