TAP Air Portugal Announce Exciting New Flights to Southern Brazil for Summer 2026

TAP Air Portugal Announce New Flights to Southern Brazil for Summer 2026

If Southern Brazil has been sitting on your bucket list for a while (maybe right after ‘learn Italian’ and ‘start going to the gym’), then TAP Air Portugal has just given you the excuse to take that list and set it on fire.

The airline has announced the addition of a fourth weekly flight to both Porto Alegre and Florianópolis starting July 2026. And once again, TAP proves that when demand shows up, so do the extra seats.

Because nothing screams ‘popular destination’ quite like new routes being announced.

Summer Just Got More Fun

TAP understands that summer holidays are sacred for Europeans, and has positioned the new flights right at the start of the soaring demand. When out of office notifications and vacation requests are at their peak, so are the flights and the seats.

New in July:

Four Weekly flights for Florianópolis begins on July 5, operating on Sundays. Perfect for those weekend-getaway travellers.

Porto Alegre: Additional service starts on July 6, operating Mondays. So, if you’re going to have to suffer through a Monday, you might as well get on a flight to Brazil.

Additional services mean more choices, less overcrowding when booking, and way less stress refreshing the airline booking site.

We’re all winners here.

Airlines Pay Attention

New routes make the decision to add flights to the Porto Alegre and Florianópolis routes a relatively simple one. When new routes open, the airline industry considers it an act of confidence.

TAP’s Director for the Americas, Carlos Antunes, mentions how he had made a commitment to last year to bolster the airlines presence in Rio Grande do Sul, and how the new Porto Alegre flights align with that commitment.

In other words, TAP promised to do something in that part of Brazil, and they actually took the steps to do it.

In this same line of thought, COO of TAP, Mário Chaves, pointed out that the demand for the new Florianopolis route has already exceeded the expectations set for it.

A solid start for a new route.

It’s very much giving instantaneous fan favorite.

How is Southern Brazil Getting Popular?

Southern Brazil has historically done much better than expected.

With stunning postcard quality beaches and a very extensive dining experience, Florianópolis has a pleasant dining experience. Porto Alege, has culture and history that travelers will enjoy.

With warm weather, various coastlines, and that distinct feeling of Brazil, Southern Brazil will always be a huge hit with European tourists.

These locations literally offer everything, culture, leisure, nature, and even some business opportunities.

Southern Brazil Getting Busy

Southern Brazil has many new flights and with more flights to the area, there is always more use of the new flights.

With expanded services on both sides of the the Atlantic, the use of the flight will increase.

It is then possible to travel to South America as Southern Europe is generally underrated compared to Rio and Sao Paulo. The Cape Verde Islands and the Canary Islands are also opened.

South America is now more usable with expanded services, with robust air travel.

Thanks to ongoing improvements in connectivity, Brazilian customers can now access TAP’s vast European network more easily, including major European cities. Customers will have to make only one stop, and they can skip the long, complicated travel routes TAP’s customers previously experienced.

Easing travel is exactly what TAP is aiming for.

TAP Air Portugal Doubling Down on Brazil

TAP has positioned itself as one of the most critical links across the Atlantic between Europe & South America, and this latest move only solidifies that position.  While others in the aviation industry chase the latest fads, TAP is doing the sensible thing and double down on what is working.

From summer 2026, flights on this route will be fuller and cabins livelier as lots of customers on these flights enjoy the value of travelling to South America.

What’s the scoop? Southern Brazil is Calling, and the secret is out

TAP opening new routes this fast is a big signal that they should be expecting a significant amount of customers on these flights.

Southern Brazil has long been one of the best spots to travel to, and now it will be a lot easier for people to get there.

If you have been thinking about heading to South America, now is the time, and as a bonus you will be swapping your daily routine for the sun.
