Lufthansa Wins Bidding for 44.9% Stake in TAP

Lufthansa has won the bidding race to acquire a 44.9% stake in Portugal's state-owned airline TAP Air Portugal. The German airline group submitted a cash bid of €1.2 billion, beating rival Air France-KLM.

The transaction is expected to close in 2028. Portugal retains majority ownership, with up to 5% reserved for employees. Lufthansa plans to expand TAP's operations in Brazil, strengthen Lisbon as a hub, and grow its presence in Porto. Additionally, Lufthansa Technik will build a maintenance facility in Santa Maria da Feira, creating around 700 jobs. TAP reported a net loss of €99.2 million in the first half of 2026.
