The Council of Ministers decided that the so‑called TAP enclave will be excluded from the scope of the privatisation, as will Cateringpor and the handling company SPdH. Miguel Pinto Luz believes that competition among the three giants will drive up the price paid for the airline.

Context & Explainers
TAP Air Portugal is Portugal’s flag-carrier airline, founded in 1945 and based at Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport, operating domestic, European and intercontinental routes. For expats it matters because TAP runs many of the main connections to Portugal (including transatlantic routes), so its schedules, fares and operational decisions directly affect relocation, visits and shipping of household goods.
