TP opens 3 further routes in 2020: LIS-MCZ, LIS-YUL, and PDL-BOS
LIS-MCZ is a new route, operated thrice weekly with departures from LIS at 17h15 in A321LR.
LIS-YUL was previously operated by TP and will be resumed next year. The departures from LIS will be 5 weekly, at 14h55, and operated by A321LR
PDL-BOS is also a service resumption, but there are no details regarding equipment or frequency.

This North American growth is really amazing over these last 4/5 years.
PDL-BOS is somewhat of a bizarre one, as Azores Airlines (S4) already operates it. Find it weird there is no better use for an LR
Anyway I'd go for a different approach than S4 in terms of schedule:
Early morning departure for PDL-BOS (8:00-10:00)
Return end morning BOS-PDL (11:00-20:00)
with this schedule they can almost tag a LIS-PDL vv at the beginning and end of the PDL-BOS with the same A/C.

You're right, but with Europe full of LCCs, Asia not really and option, the BLR so devalued, this revenue in USD,CAD seems to be the only positive type of growth possible.
Could TP do that in a non-LR? ETOPS and other stuff (not familiar with all requirements)
if yes, then the day time flights is almost a must.

I'm almost sure they can. And S4 is operating non-LR A321s on the same route and on TER-BOS.

Just saw the press release (PDL-BOS, YUL and Maceio) from TP. Title indicates it should be the LR
in the middle of the press release there is a funny quote from the CEO on the LR
Company opens three new connections in the Americas with the Airbus A321LR
“[…] This aircraft, the A321 “LR”, which I occasionally claim stands for “Lisbon Range”, is a true game changer. The way to travel between Brazil and Europe is now more modern, efficient and environmentally friendly. […]

Also interesting westbound because it bad for connections in EWR with a 2230 arrival from LIS. Lots of domestic U.S. connecting opportunities on *A / UA via EWR, but not that late at night. I know there is a huge Portuguese community in Newark but it seems like they are leaving some money on the table by depending only on EWR / NYC O/D traffic.
