On June 21 TAP Air Portugal resumed its regular flights to Venezuela on its Lisbon (LIS) – Caracas (CCS) route with two weekly flights. Previously, the airline performed several special services between April and May.
In February of this year, the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics (INAC) authorized Portugal as one of the permitted destinations with regular passenger and cargo operations, which allowed the Portuguese flag carrier to resume its non-stop services to Venezuelan territory.
With the resumption of flights to Venezuela, TAP Air Portugal restores all its prepandemic destinations in South America. Lisbon (LIS) becomes the third European destination at Maiquetia International Airport, giving passengers more options for their trips to the Old Continent.
