About the airline
TAP Air Portugal, formally Transportes Aéreos Portugueses (TAP), is the flag carrier of Portugal, headquartered at Lisbon Airport, which also serves as its main hub. Founded in 1945, the airline began commercial services the following year. It has been a member of Star Alliance since 2005. TAP operates flights to destinations across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, with a particular focus on routes connecting Portugal with Brazil, Lusophone African countries, and other Portuguese-speaking markets. Its fleet consists entirely of Airbus aircraft, with regional services operated under the brand TAP Express using Embraer jets. Throughout its history, TAP has alternated between public and private ownership. The airline was sold to a private consortium in 2015, before the Portuguese state gradually reasserted control, renationalising in 2020. The Portuguese government subsequently announced plans to reprivatise the airline, a process which drew scrutiny from the Portuguese Court of Audits.
