Aegean Airlines and TAP Portugal join Airlines for Europe | ATWOnline

Greek carrier Aegean Airlines and Portuguese flag carrier TAP Portugal have become the latest airlines to join lobbygroup Airlines for Europe (A4E).

A4E launched in January 2016, with the support of founding members Air France-KLM, UK budget carrier easyJet, International Airlines Group, Lufthansa Group and Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair.

Since then it has attracted Finnair, UK leisure airline Jet2.com, Norwegian and Spanish budget carrier Volotea, with Aegean Airlines and TAP Portugal becoming the latest to join A4E in June.

This takes Brussels-based A4E’s representation to more than 500 million annual passengers and more than 60% of the continent’s passenger journeys.

A4E’s member airlines have a combined fleet of more than 2,500 aircraft and generate €97 billion ($108 billion) in annual turnover.
