TAP Air Portugal privatisation to come “before summer”

TAP Air Portugal’s privatisation is likely to “come out before summer”, according to the airline’s CEO and chairman Luis Rodrigues. Speaking at the airline’s 75th anniversary event held in London on May 14, Rodrigues said: “We have a new government that has been in place for about a month now and they’re getting acquainted with the administration. It’s a complex issue; I trust it will come out still before summer but I don’t mind if it takes a bit longer.” Portugal named its new centre-right leader Luis Montenegro of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) as prime minister in March this
