TAP Air Portugal
TAP Air Portugal is the national carrier and largest airline of Portugal. Established in 1945, the airline is based at Humberto Delgado Airport in Lisbon, which serves as its primary global hub.
As of early 2026, the airline is a prominent member of the Star Alliance, providing connections to over 1,200 airports worldwide through its partner network. The Portuguese government is currently in the process of a strategic privatization, with a sale of up to 49.9% of the carrier expected to be completed by the second half of 2026. Key aspects of the airline include:
- Fleet: The carrier operates a modern all Airbus fleet for its mainline operations, featuring next generation NEO aircraft like the A320neo, A321neo, and A330-900neo. Its regional subsidiary, TAP Express, utilizes Embraer and ATR aircraft.
- Network: It serves approximately 90 destinations across more than 30 countries in Europe, Africa, North America, and South America.
- Brazil Leadership: The airline is the leading European carrier for flights to Brazil, with a massive network that includes 14 destinations in the country as of July 2026, including a newly launched route to Curitiba.
- Service Classes: Onboard service typically includes Economy and Business classes. In 2026, the airline began the rollout of its first ever Premium Economy cabins on select aircraft to offer increased comfort and elevated service.
- Stopover Program: The airline is well known for its Portugal Stopover program, which allows passengers to stay in Lisbon or Porto for up to 10 days on their way to their final destination at no additional airfare cost.
