TAP has announced the eleventh new route it will launch in 2014. The new route will connect Lisbon and Oviedo from July 1.
The launch of the Oviedo service has been made possible because of an important change to the fleet operated by PGA โ Portugรกlia Airlines (Lisbon), with the replacement of two 19-seater Beechcraft 1900D aircraft with two 46-seat ATR 42-600s, which also have a longer range.
Oviedo will become the eighth Spanish city with direct TAP flights, joining Madrid and Barcelona (which have direct flights from Lisbon, Porto and Funchal), Seville, La Coruรฑa, Bilbao, Malaga and Valencia.
In 2013, TAP carried 944,000 passengers between Portugal and Spain, a 6% increase from 2012.
