TAP Portugal (IATA: TP, ICAO: TAP) is the national airline of Portugal, established in 1945. As a Star Alliance member since 2005, it has grown into a key carrier for transatlantic and intercontinental travel, with particular strength on routes linking Europe to Brazil and Portuguese-speaking African countries.
The airline operates from its primary hub at Lisbon Airport, serving as a gateway for connections across Europe, Africa, and the Americas. TAP Portugal maintains modern maintenance facilities in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre), supporting its extensive Brazilian network and long-haul operations.
TAP Portugal's fleet consists of Airbus narrow-body and wide-body aircraft: the A319, A320, and A321 handle European and regional routes, while the A330 provides capacity on long-haul services, particularly to South America and Africa. This aircraft family ensures operational efficiency and commonality across the network.
