European customers seeking flights to Brazil have seen TAP Portugal emerge as the dominant player in the sector during 2010.

In July this year the airline began offering three flights a week to Viracopos Airport (VCP) in São Paulo, becoming the first international airline to fly to the destination.

The decision was just the latest in a far reaching commitment to the country from TAP Portugal, with the airline already offering departures to Fortaleza, Natal, Salvador, Recife, Brasília, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo Guarulhos Airport.

In total TAP now offers a total of 69 flights per week between Europe and Brazil in its summer schedule, boarding more customers than any other international airline.

The launch of the Viracopos Airport route will serve as a connection point to other locations in Brazil, in co-operation with interline & STAR alliance partner, TAM Airlines.

TAP Portugal is also operating a modern, air conditioned complimentary coach service between VCP and the city’s domestic airport.

In addition to its services to Brazil, TAP also has five weekly flights to Caracas, Venezuela with operations to/from Porto, Funchal and Lisbon with convenient connections to/from Lisbon and cities across Europe.
