TAP Air Portugal, the state-owned flag carrier airline of Portugal headquartered in Lisbon, is a member of Star Alliance and operates flights to more than 90 destinations in 34 countries worldwide. From its hub in Lisbon and its secondary hub in Porto the airline offers daily flights to many international cities and to popular Portuguese regions such as Algarve, Madeira and the Azores.

Justin Jovignot, Director Commercial Strategy & Distribution at TAP: “TAP selected AVIAREPS as GSA to represent her and develop its sales in 16 countries in the world. In this joint force, TAP is aiming to improve presence in the markets and grow its revenue. TAP is flying directly to several of the markets where it has appointed AVIAREPS as GSA, but the focus is also on offline markets, where TAP is still not flying to and where growth potential is a key element for future business development.”

Marcelo Kaiser, COO Aviation at AVIAREPS: “We are very proud of our long-standing business relationship with TAP Air Portugal and of continuously seeing it grow. The appointment in Latin America, Croatia and South Africa expands our partnership to 16 countries in total and we look forward to working with TAP in the new markets and positioning them as top-of-mind carrier connecting the world to Portugal. Our highly skilled aviation expert teams at AVIAREPS will help strengthen TAP’s brand awareness with the ultimate goal of increasing the airline’s ticket sales.”
