NEWARK, N.J. -- TAP Air Portugal will halve its daily nonstop
service to Lisbon from the U.S. as of Oct. 27, cutting its one
flight from New York's Kennedy to concentrate operations at nearby
Newark.
The carrier will continue to offer one daily, nonstop flight
from Newark, via Airbus A340 equipment.
TAP blamed both economic aftereffects of Sept. 11 and rising
operating costs for the move, but said it hopes to restore Kennedy
flights as soon as conditions improve.
