Portugalia Airlines
Even though it was created in 1988, the Company only began operating in 1990. The first official flight departs from Lisbon heading to Porto on July 7th of that same year, operated by a Fokker 100. With its internationalization in June 1992, and the acquisition of new aircraft, Portugália Airlines asserted itself on the European market as a private and innovative airline, guided by high level service standards and recognized internationally (Best Regional Airline in Europe, 2001-2006, and the Skytrax Award for Best Cabin Staff in Europe, in 2005). In 2007, it integrates the TAP Group and takes on a new business model, working under a Group logic now. In 2016, the Company renewed its fleet, and is now operating with a fleet of 9 Embraer 190 and 4 Embraer 195, with a new image, an increase in passenger capacity and greater flexibility while maintaining the same consistency and service quality. The Company's aircraft now fly under the TAP express brand, supporting TAP's commitment to the regional market.
