TAP was chosen as the Best European Airline flying to Africa and South America at the WTA 2024, but this year it was also honoured as Europe’s Best MICE Airline at the MICE Awards 2023, reads the press release.
The MICE Awards are the WTA's "sister" event for the Meetings, Incentive, Congress and Exhibition (MICE) area and this year they honoured TAP.
For the seventh year running, TAP has been honoured by the World Travel Awards as the best European airline flying to Africa and South America.
TAP has 85 weekly flights from Porto and Lisbon to 14 destinations in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, Morocco, Senegal, Gambia and Ghana.
It also offers 80 weekly flights to Brazil and will increase frequencies in 2024 to a total of 96 flights a week to 11 Brazilian capitals. An average of 13 a day, reaffirming TAP as the most important international airline linking Brazil to Europe. In South America, it also flies to Venezuela, with direct flights between Funchal and Caracas.
The World Travel Awards honour the best in world tourism in dozens of categories and in various parts of the world. The trophies awarded in this edition join those already won in previous editions, as TAP was voted the best European Airline flying to Africa in 2011, 2012, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 and the best European Airline flying to South America in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
The winners of the World Travel Awards were chosen through an online voting process, mostly by travel and tourism professionals such as travel agents, operators and tourism organisations from various countries, but also by the general public.
TAP currently flies to 85 destinations, with more than 1,250 flights a week.
Unless a miracle has occurred, I find this very hard to believe. Close to impossible.

I think it should be the best. After all it has had 3.2 BILLION Euros of state aid (taxpayers money).

If TAP are the best airline flying to Africa and South America I’d hate to fly on the worst.

TAP is a clown show. Customer Service cannot provide information about my booking. Now TAP emailed me and stated Early check-in was now open. BUT, I cannot check in. A clown show is a compliment.

Hard to belive, unless there was a miracle! TAP's personnel are pedantic and unhelpeful.
