TAP Air Portugal Returns to Israel After Two-Year Break

Great news for travelers planning a trip to Israel! TAP Air Portugal is officially resuming flights between Lisbon and Tel Aviv, marking their first return since October 7, 2023 – after more than two years away.

This is fantastic news if you’re looking for new ways to reach Israel, especially from Europe or connecting through Portugal. TAP’s Lisbon hub offers excellent connections to destinations across Europe, the Americas, and Africa, giving you more flexibility when planning your journey to Israel.

The Portuguese airline’s representatives in Israel have confirmed they’re committed to promoting Portugal as both a destination and gateway, saying “we’ll continue selling Portugal and onward connections from there.” This means you’ll have more options for multi-destination trips or convenient stopovers.

While we’re waiting for the full details on flight frequencies and pricing, this restoration of service is a positive sign for Israel’s recovering tourism industry. More airline options typically mean more competitive prices and better scheduling flexibility for travelers.
