TAP Air Portugal has announced the launch of a new route linking Lisbon (LIS) to Curitiba (CWB), the capital of Paraná, Brazil, starting 2 July 2026. The airline will operate three weekly flights—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays—as part of a triangular route Lisbon–Curitiba–Rio de Janeiro–Lisbon, using an Airbus A330-200 with 269 seats. Ticket sales open on 11 November 2025.
The new connection strengthens TAP’s leadership in the Europe–Brazil market, expanding its Brazilian network to 14 destinations, more than any other European carrier.
“This direct connection with Portugal will boost tourism, facilitate the arrival of European visitors, and expand business opportunities with Europe,” said Ratinho Junior, Governor of Paraná.
“Brazil is a strategic market of enormous relevance for TAP,” added Carlos Antunes, TAP’s Director for the Americas. “With Curitiba, we’re deepening our commitment to connect Brazilian cities to Europe, while strengthening historical, cultural, and economic ties between our nations.”
The route is expected to enhance travel and trade links between southern Brazil and Europe, positioning Curitiba as a new gateway for business and leisure travellers alike.
