Embraer re-signs TAP’s Portugália Airlines for E-Jet fleet support
Embraer has signed a Component Pool Program agreement with TAP’s Portugália Airlines to support its regional fleet of 19 E-Jet aircraft.
On October 15, 2026, Mário Lobato de Faria, the Managing Director at Portugália Airlines, said the carrier was returning to Embraer following a “brief experience with an alternative supplier”.
Under Embraer’s Pool Program the Brazilian firm will provide comprehensive component support for twelve E-190s and seven E-195s.
Embraer said that the program will help “optimize aircraft availability as the airline expands its operations”.
EmbraerAccording to Embraer, the support package covers more than 300 aircraft components across multiple systems of the E-Jets and includes advanced exchange services, repair and overhaul solutions.
“After some decades being served by Embraer through its Component Pool Program that we helped to set up during the launch of the Embraer ERJ145, it felt right to return to this Program that always served our needs and helped us grow,” Lobato de Faria said. “More than the Program itself is the Embraer team behind it with whom we relate in a fantastic way.”
He added: “A big thank to Embraer for the flexibility and true partnership during this transition process accommodating all our requirements.”
Portugália Airlines, which now operates under the TAP Express brand, was one of the first airlines to begin integrating the ERJ145 into its fleet in the late 1990s.
“We are proud to further strengthen our long-standing partnership with Portugália Airlines through this Component Pool Program agreement,” Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services and Support, said. “Their continued confidence in our solutions is a testament to the value it delivers to operators worldwide.”
Portugália Airlines operates around 25% of the TAP Group flights with a fleet, serving destinations mainly in Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, UK and Ireland) and North Africa (Marocco).
The airline serves as an ACMI operator exclusively for TAP Air Portugal.
