Maiden flight launched today, despite delayed opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport

At around 2.50 p.m. today, the dawn of a new era began: for the first time in 12 years, a TAP Portugal Airbus departed from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport for Lisbon.

With the opening of the new route, the Portuguese airline is now flying to five destinations in Germany: Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and Düsseldorf.

The new connection not only enables German customers to get to Portugal much quicker, but also offers numerous connections via the Lisbon hub to long-haul flights from TAP Portugal to Brazil, the USA and Africa.

Arrival and departure times will be as announced:

Berlin–Lisbon

Tuesday: Departure 2.50 p.m. – Arrival 5.30 p.m.

Monday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday: Departure 3.35 p.m. – Arrival 6.15 p.m.
