It’s no secret: the announcement of the privatization of TAP Air Portugal is the next big turning point in the consolidation of European skies. And this clearly arouses the desires of European air transport giants such as Air France-KLM, Lufthansa and IAG. After various expressions of interest and informal meetings, while awaiting significant progress from the Portuguese government in the process of opening the capital, serious things finally began.
On Wednesday, the French group made the announcement “has expressed his interest in participating in the TAP privatization process” with Portugal’s state equity management body, Parpública. This Thursday, it was the turn of its German competitor to make an announcement “his intention is to play an active role in the privatization of TAP Air Portugal”.
