Fly direct to Lisbon from London City airport with TAP Air Portugal
If you are yet to have discovered the wonder of Portugal, firstly, where have you been? And secondly, now you have no excuse. For TAP Air Portugal is now flying from London City airport direct to Lisbon. City airport is often favoured by Londoners for its convenient location in the heart of the city and now this means you don’t have to travel to Gatwick or Heathrow to get to the city.
Flights from London City to Lisbon will run twice days on weekdays and once daily on weekends, with this route making it the only airline to connect London City, located in the city’s financial centre, and the cosmopolitan destination of Lisbon, and the first Airline to fly this route in the 30 years London City Airport has been operating.
The direct flights between London City and Lisbon will operate with the Embraer 190 aircraft, with seat capacity for 106 passengers, departing London at 10:10am and 7:50pm, and departing Lisbon at 7am and 4:40pm, from Monday to Friday.
When the final destination is not Lisbon or Porto, passengers can also take advantage of the Portugal Stopover programme on their way out or during their return flight, stopping in Portugal for one, two or three nights for no additional charge to their fare. Since its launch in summer 2016 until the end of last July, almost 70 thousand passengers have already made the most of the programme, and with this new route numbers are expected to rise even further.
Richard Hill, Chief Commercial Officer at London City Airport (LCY) said: ‘I’m thrilled to welcome TAP to London City Airport. Not only does the airline add an exciting new name to the list of operators at LCY, it brings a new route for us – the first time the airport has offered direct flights to Lisbon – and in addition offers great connecting opportunities, through TAP’s Lisbon hub on to Africa and the Americas. I’m sure it will be a great success.’
