With a history of 34 years in the industry of regional flights, today Portugália is part of the TAP Group. After the acquisition by TAP in 2007, the company changed its business model to flight capacity provider, working as feeder–defeeder of the group. In March 2016, the company changed its brand to TAP express along with changes on its fleet: as of 2016, TAP express operated by Portugália Airlines operates with a fleet of twelve Embraer 190 and seven Embraer 195, maintaining its core business as flight capacity provider.
