Lufthansa has been selected to acquire a 44.9% stake in TAP Air Portugal, defeating a rival bid from Air France-KLM in the Portuguese flag carrier’s privatization process. Lufthansa Group welcomed the selection of its offer.
The Wall Street Journal valued the stake at $1.3 billion. Bloomberg reported that Lufthansa sees €450 million in potential upside from the transaction, describing the company’s view of the opportunity rather than a guaranteed return.
Lufthansa may eventually seek a larger holding in TAP. The airline is in talks about taking the remaining 50.1% stake in the future, Reuters reported, citing Lufthansa’s chief financial officer. No timetable or agreed terms for such a transaction were reported.
