Now10 September 2026 at 13:54

TAP reiterated its strategic interest in strengthening a route in Brazil where it is the leading European company. The Portuguese airline is celebrating in 2026 the 60 years of the regular route between Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro, a destination that remains one of the three most important for TAP in that market. Rio de Janeiro is one of the pillars of TAP's operation in Brazil, reflecting the strong historical and cultural link between Portugal and the South American country. The air carrier also identifies São Paulo and Recife as the other two priority destinations in its Brazilian operation.

ECB interest rate hike increases pressure on mortgage payments, Deco PROteste warns

The European Central Bank (ECB) raised interest rates by 0.25 basis points, setting the deposit rate at 2.5%, which will increase pressure on Portuguese families with mortgage loans, Deco Proteste warned. For a 250,000 euro loan over 30 years with a 1% spread, monthly payments can exceed 1,180 euros, depending on the reference rate used. The 6-month Euribor, the most used in Portugal, has risen 26% since the beginning of the Middle East conflict, and 12-month Euribor approached 3% in August. The association recommends that consumers check their payment review dates, simulate different scenarios, and consider alternatives such as renegotiation or transferring the loan to another institution.
