TAP Air Portugal has launched a direct flight connecting the Azores and San Francisco.
The service, which commenced on June 3, 2025, will see one of TAP’s flights between Lisbon and San Francisco stop on the Azorean island of Terceira, before continuing on to the US.
The Azores - an autonomous island group located in the North Atlantic Ocean - lie around 850 miles off the coast of Portugal.
“This direct flight between the Azores and San Franciso will serve the 300,000-strong Azorean community in California,” the airline stated.
This route will be operated by TAP’s A330neo fleet.
