The German airline group submitted a cash bid of €1.2 billion, beating rival Air France-KLM. The Portuguese government selected Lufthansa as preferred partner, but the deal is still subject to final negotiations and EU regulatory approval, which could take 18 to 24 months. 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.
