In 2023, TAP carried a total of 15.9 million passengers, 2.1 million more than the previous year, equivalent to a growth of 15.2%. On its six Italian routes, the carrier surpassed the 1 million passenger threshold with more than 1.1 million passengers carried, registering an increase of 31.8% over 2022. This means that for every 15 passengers on board the Portuguese flag carrier, one holds an Italian passport.

It is important to note that the restructuring plan defined by the European Commission. and to which TAP will be subject until 2025 require it to operate fewer aircraft and fewer slots at Lisbon Airport than in 2019.
