TAP takes A330neo to Chicago and Washington in 2019
TAP Air Portugal will add Chicago O'Hare and Washington Dulles to its network in 2019, moving forward with plans to expand its transatlantic network with next generation aircraft. The carrier will offer 5-times weekly service to both cities from its Lisbon base with a 298-seat A330-900, it says Thursday. "This is only just the beginning," says David Neeleman, a major shareholder in TAP. "Today's expansion to Chicago and Washington DC reflects what an increasingly popular destination Portugal has become." Asked about demand for the new routes, he said that TAP sees strength in both the business and leisure markets. Neeleman cites the growing technology cluster in Washington, and the conferences business in Portugal. <br/>
