The deal, years in the making and repeatedly delayed, is the next step in the consolidation of Europe's airline industry, a process seen as necessary to help smaller national carriers become more resilient as part of larger grou ps. Analysts and industry executives say consolidation is likely to accelerate a s soaring jet fuel prices linked to the war in Iran force weaker airlines to work with larger, better-capitalised groups. Lufthansa, which already owns Austrian Airlines, ITA Airways and SWISS, among other carriers, beat rival Air France-KLM after both airlines submitted improv ed final bids in late September. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro told a news briefing the winning bid exceeded Air France-KLM's offer by 16%. Speaking at the World Aviation Festival in Lisbon before the announcement, TAP Chief Executive Luis Rodrigues said joining a larger group would allow th e Portuguese carrier to "access a larger pool of resources at better value". The government said its decision was based not only on price but also on each bidder's industrial plan for TAP, including its strategy for the airline's gro wth and long-term sustainability. TAP's main attraction is its valuable landing slots connecting Lisbon wi th Brazil, Portuguese-speaking Africa and the US, routes that underpin Portuga l's diaspora ties, tourism flows and investment links. The government wants TAP's partner to expand operations and connectivity acr oss Portugal's airport network, not only at Lisbon's hub but also in Porto , Faro, the Azores and Madeira. As of June, TAP operated a fleet of 101 aircraft serving 93 destinations world wide: 52 in Europe, 16 in South and Central America, 14 in Africa and 11 i n North America. TAP carried a record 8.2 million passengers in the first half of 2026, up 4. 2% from a year earlier, while operating revenue rose 4.3%. 中文大意： 葡萄牙政府週三選定漢莎航空（Lufthansa）以 12億歐元（約13億美元） 收購葡萄牙航 空（TAP）44.9% 的股權，使漢莎成為這家歐洲少數仍保持獨立的國家航空公司的策略夥 伴。 漢莎已擁有奧地利航空、ITA航空、瑞士航空等子公司，這次擊敗法荷航（Air France-KL M）。雙方都在9月底提交了改進後的最終報價，漢莎的報價比法荷航高出16%。 TAP最吸引人的資產是連接里斯本與巴西、葡語非洲國家及美國的寶貴航權與起降時段。 政府希望新夥伴能強化葡萄牙全國機場的營運與連結，不只里斯本，也包括波爾圖、法魯 、亞速爾群島與馬德拉。 [原文連結] https://www.reuters.com/business/portugal-picks-lufthansa-buy-449-tap-sources- say-2026-10-14/ https://reurl.cc/6X470V 正如大家的預期 葡萄牙航空續留星空聯盟 不過法荷航收購方案居然是 現金+股票？？？ 下一個收購案：肯亞航空 已經有四個買家囉 分別來自：美國、新加坡、南非、中國 新加坡一定是淡馬錫，不然就是新航 因為之前的新聞，淡馬錫有意願收購 究竟肯亞航空能否續留天合聯盟？ 讓我們繼續看下去... 不知道達美是否後悔突襲收購LATAM 現在可能連肯亞航空都守不住啦 卡達航空一定會用盡所有資源 讓其他業者收購肯亞航空的 畢竟敵人的敵人就是朋友 --
