TAP Air Portugal, Volotea link up on European services

TAP and Spain-based LCC Volotea may expand their partnership after agreeing to a codeshare arrangement to strengthen services between 3 European nations. It is the first codeshare that Volotea, which specialises in connecting secondary and tertiary European cities, has entered into. The agreement has come into force in the past few days and allows both airlines to cooperate through Volotea’s direct flights to the southern Portuguese leisure destination of Faro from France and Italy. Faro has become a year-round destination, largely because of the proliferation of golf courses in its locality. The codeshare will allow TAP to place its TP code on all Volotea-operated routes from Faro to Nantes, Bordeaux and Marseille (France), as well as to Verona (Italy) <br/>
