TAP launches additional weekly flight to Vienna

Occupancy rate on current flights above expectations in August

TAP is to offer one additional weekly flight between Lisbon and Vienna, from 7 August to 18 September, further strengthening flight operations inaugurated in May with five flights per week. This addition is the airline's response to high levels of demand which has achieved flight occupancy rates of over 90 percent during August. The route will be operated by aircraft from the A320 family which have a capacity of 160 passengers.
 
The new flight will operate on Sundays departing from Lisbon at 13.00 and arriving at Vienna at 17.25 local time. In the opposite direction the flight departs at 18.10 and arrives in Lisbon at 20.35. The schedule of the existing connections remains unchanged. Flights from Lisbon depart on Wednesdays and Sundays at 09.00 and arrive in Vienna at 13.25. On Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays flights depart from Lisbon at 13.30 and arrive in Vienna at 17.50. On the Vienna/Lisbon return leg, flights operate on the same days with departures at 14.10 on Wednesdays and Sundays, arriving in Lisbon at 16.45. On Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays flights depart from Vienna at 18.35 and arrive in Lisbon at 21.15 local time.
 
With this additional flight TAP is intensifying its efforts of promoting tourism to Portugal by reinforcing the strategic importance of its Lisbon hub.
