TAP Air Portugal, Portugal’s national carrier which celebrates its 80th anniversary of operations this year, continues its record-breaking expansion from the US with three new routes to Portugal launching in the coming weeks.
Yesterday, TAP began service from Boston to Porto. This summer, TAP will offer more

We value our partnership with TAP and look forward to expanding their destinations out of Boston in the future.”
