Vice-Presidência do Governo Regional
The Vice-Presidency of the Regional Government congratulates national airline TAP on the opening of the new route between Terceira and San Francisco, which will begin on June 3, 2025, ensuring a direct connection between this Azorean island and California.
The new route provides a more efficient and direct service between the Region and California. It will better serve a sizeable community of Portuguese descent.
The route between Terceira and San Francisco joins the three stopovers that TAP has been making. These have contributed greatly to the mobility of Terceira residents and central group inhabitants.
In addition, the Region will have the new route, already announced, between Zurich and Terceira in the summer. It will run weekly from June to September, promoting family visits, academic exchanges and the search for new commercial opportunities with Switzerland.
Artur Lima met last August in Lisbon with TAP CEO Luís Rodrigues to discuss issues relevant to the mobility of the Azoreans and the improvement of air links with the Azores.
As such, TAP provides an excellent service to the Autonomous Region of the Azores.
