TAP reiterates strategic interest in strengthening Brazil route where it is the European leader

Correio da Manhã10 September 2026 at 13:26

TAP reiterated its strategic interest in strengthening the Brazil route, the market where it is the leading European airline. The information comes at a time when the Portuguese airline celebrates in 2026 the 60 years of the regular route between Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro is described as one of TAP's three most important destinations in the Brazilian market, appearing alongside São Paulo and Recife as strategic priorities for the company.

The celebration of this historic milestone underscores the importance that Brazil has in TAP's route network, reinforcing the Portuguese airline's commitment to connectivity between Europe and Brazil.

"No to fraud": Alentejo demands more control over Spanish wine entering Portugal

Around 30 winegrowers from Alentejo protested in Évora against the illegal entry of Spanish wine into Portugal, which is then sold as Portuguese wine, demanding more inspection from authorities. Producers warn that around 100 million liters of illegal wine enter Portugal annually, a value equivalent to the entire Alentejo's production in one harvest, causing the devaluation of the Portuguese wine sector and the abandonment of the activity. Farmers advocate for the implementation of current accounts to track wines, greater control of imported and uncertified wines, and that regional wine commissions have inspection capacity within their areas.

Three districts concentrate 58.5% of energy supplier changes

Three Portuguese districts — Lisbon, Porto and Setúbal — concentrate 58.5% of all energy supplier changes in the country, a pattern that cannot be explained by financial barriers, since changing suppliers is free, requires no credit approval and does not interrupt supply. The ComparaJá analysis reveals that the concentration reflects rather an inequality in access to information: where there is more advertising, physical stores and conversations on the topic, there are more changes. The monthly difference between the cheapest and most expensive tariff can exceed 58 euros for large families, but this saving remains unclaimed precisely in the areas with the lowest uptake. The Portuguese market proves to be a market of partial decisions, with 74.5% of changes involving only electricity and 94.9% of consumers opting for the simple tariff without exploring optimizations to their own consumption profile.
