TAP Air Portugal Returns to Israel After 2-Year Break

Great news for travelers planning to visit Israel! TAP Air Portugal is resuming flights between Lisbon and Tel Aviv for the first time since October 7, 2023, after more than two years of suspended service.

This is fantastic news if you’re looking for alternative routes to Israel, especially from Europe and the Americas. TAP’s Lisbon hub offers excellent connections to destinations across Europe, North and South America, making it a convenient gateway for international visitors.

The Portuguese airline’s return means more flight options and potentially better prices for your trip to Israel. Plus, if you’re planning to combine your Israel visit with time in Portugal or other European destinations, this direct connection makes it much easier.

TAP representatives in Israel confirmed they’ll be actively promoting Portugal as both a destination and transit point for travelers. This could mean attractive package deals combining visits to both countries.

Keep an eye on flight booking sites for schedules and pricing as the service ramps up. Having another major European carrier back in the market should help with flight availability during peak travel seasons.
