TAP, TAM Broaden Codeshare Agreement

TAM and TAP Portugal are broadening the codeshare agreement signed between the two companies to offer daily connections between Portugal and Argentina. The partnership allows TAP to sell, with its own code, the flights operated by TAM to Buenos Aires, Argentina, via Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

With the start of this new phase of the partnership between TAM and TAP, passengers can check-in and send their luggage just once in Lisbon or Porto and have quick connections in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro to continue to Buenos Aires, reducing the total travel time.

The partnership agreement, in effect since September 2007, also extends to the TAM Loyalty and TAP Victoria programs, as well as including the entire services network made available by the two companies, creating multiple options for accumulating or exchanging points or miles.
