As of July 17th, TAP will operate four weekly flights from Lisbon to Lomé, in Togo, increasing the Airline’s destinations in Africa to 16 in 11 different countries.

Lomé is an addition to the already announced new destinations which include Toronto, Stuttgart, Gran Canaria, Alicante, Bucharest, Budapest, Cologne and Abidjan.

Lomé–Tokoin International Airport sees two million passengers per year.

A business destination, and home to many that live in European countries, Togo is a strategic destination for TAP and its hub in Lisbon.

The inclusion of Lomé in TAP’s network reinforces the Airline’s strategic position in Africa.

This summer, TAP’s capacity to the continent will increase by nearly 20 per cent, and the number of flights by 22 per cent, compared to the same period in 2016.

The flights between Lisbon and Lomé will operate with the A320 aircraft, with seat capacity for 165 passengers.

On Mondays and Fridays, flights will depart Lisbon at 16:40 and return from Lomé at 23:55, completing the circuit Lisbon – Accra – Lomé – Lisbon.

On Wednesdays and Sundays, flights will depart Lisbon at 16:40 and return from Lomé at 22:10, completing the circuit Lisbon – Lomé – Accra – Lisbon.
