With a history of 27 years in the industry of regional flights, today Portugália is part of TAP’s Group. After the acquisition by TAP in 2007, the company changed its business model to flight capacity provider, working exclusively as feeder of TAP’s 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 nine Embraer E190s, maintaining its core business as flight capacity provider.
