TAP Air Portugal to resume direct flights between Lisbon and Caracas

TAP Air Portugal will resume direct flights between Lisbon and Caracas starting October 27, 2026, according to the portal AlbertoNews. The airline is thereby restoring a key connection for the Portuguese and Luso-descendant community living in Venezuela, with two weekly scheduled frequencies on Tuesdays and Sundays.

The return of this air route comes at a time of gradual recovery in international connectivity in the Caribbean country. According to data published by El Nacional, based on figures from the Asociación de Líneas Aéreas en Venezuela (ALAV), the aviation market has become more decentralized, with 44% of international flights departing from airports in the interior of the country.

Direct connections of this kind facilitate passenger mobility and reduce dependence on stopovers in third countries, a decisive factor in lowering travel costs on transatlantic routes.

In the coming months, it will be necessary to watch demand trends and the stability of the frequencies announced by the European airline.
