TAP reports traffic growth on Italian routes

The Italian routes operated by TAP showed their first signs of traffic recovery in October, with the company transporting over 61,000 passengers during this month, compared to 59,000 during the same period last year.

The occupancy rate for TAP flights on these routes has also risen from 63% in October 2008 to 76% in the same month this year.

Italy is one of TAP's largest European markets, generating important passenger flows from both Portugal and Brazil attracted by the beauties of one of the world’s most popular countries for historic and cultural heritage.

The positive signs also extend to the cargo sector, driven mostly by the increase of Italian exports to Brazil, in particular from the car industry.
