Lufthansa’s Strategic Bid: Tapping into TAP’s Potential
Lufthansa has put forward a non-binding bid for a minority stake in Portugal’s TAP, as part of the country's relaunch of TAP’s privatisation. Portugal aims to sell 44.9% to an airline partner to enhance TAP's global presence and competitiveness, with 5% reserved for employees.

Germany’s aviation giant, Lufthansa, announced on Thursday that it has tabled a preliminary offer to Portugal’s state holding company, Parpublica, for acquiring a minority stake in the national airline, TAP.
This move comes as Portugal reboots the long-postponed privatisation of TAP, with plans laid out in July aiming to offload a 44.9% stake to a strategic airline partner. The objective is clear: to broaden TAP’s global operations and heighten its competitive edge.
Additionally, the privatization scheme allocates 5% of the shares for the employees of TAP, ensuring they have a stake in the airline’s future trajectory.
