TAP Air Portugal confirms its leadership as the leading airline connecting Brazil to Europe. 
In the first half of this year, TAP Air Portugal carried 640 017 passengers, which represents a 526% increase compared to the same period in 2021, accounting for 28% of passengers carried between Brazil and Europe.

In Brazil, TAP Air Portugal is already at 86% of capacity compared to the period before the pandemic. With a network of more than 90 destinations worldwide, the strengthening of the number of frequencies is a strong sign of recovery.
