TAP's operation will be more significantly restored in September, when it returns to about 40% of its normal supply before the pandemic. Then, the airline will have 22 weekly flights to Brazil, 30 connections in eight routes to North America, 59 flights to 13 cities in Africa and the Middle East, 498 connections to 35 cities in Europe and 159 flights between six Portuguese cities.

In a press release, TAP shared the information that “the list of routes and flights may be adjusted whenever circumstances require, in view of the dynamics of the impositions and restrictions of the various countries, due to the pandemic progress, as well as the demand evolution”. The airline adds that it has "adjusted the routines and implemented new and reinforced procedures, guaranteeing all passengers a 'Clean & Safe' environment at all stages of the trip".
