TAP Air Portugal is the national airline of Portugal, founded in 1945 and headquartered in Lisbon. Operating as a full-service carrier, it serves destinations across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, with a particular strength in routes connecting Europe to Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking nations. The airline joined Star Alliance in 2005, expanding its global connectivity and codeshare partnerships.

Despite these challenges, it remains one of the most important carriers operating transatlantic routes between Europe and Latin America.
