Through a new codeshare agreement with TAP Air Portugal, Porto Santo is now accessible from any airport served by Turkish Airlines, enhancing connectivity for tourists and residents.

Porto Santo, the picturesque island known for its golden sands and tranquil ambiance, has taken a significant step in boosting its connectivity. Thanks to a recent 'codeshare' agreement between TAP Air Portugal and Turkish Airlines, the island is now accessible from any airport within the Turkish Airlines network.

While TAP Air Portugal continues to operate the direct flight between Lisbon and Porto Santo, Turkish Airlines will market this route through its own sales channels. This strategic partnership aims to enhance the accessibility of Porto Santo to a broader international audience, potentially increasing tourism and economic opportunities for the island.

The codeshare agreement allows Turkish Airlines to sell tickets for the Lisbon to Porto Santo route as part of its global network, making it easier for travelers from various parts of the world to visit this serene island. This move is particularly significant for tourists seeking new destinations and for residents who desire more travel options.

Porto Santo is part of the Madeira archipelago, located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Known for its stunning beaches and mild climate, the island is a popular destination for both relaxation and adventure. This new development is expected to further boost its appeal as an attractive holiday destination.

For Madeira residents, this agreement not only enhances travel convenience but also positions Porto Santo as a more prominent player in the international tourism market. The inclusion in Turkish Airlines' network could lead to increased visitor numbers, benefiting local businesses and the economy.
