TAP will invest €20 million to build a new maintenance hangar in Porto, a project the carrier says will take about two years and create nearly 200 jobs. The hub is intended to increase TAP's in-house maintenance capacity, reduce reliance on external providers and support new or strengthened routes (reports name Terceira, Praia, Tel Aviv and Boston). Porto residents and jobseekers should watch for recruitment and planning notices; passengers may see improved maintenance resilience and potential route growth over the next two years.

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.
