I-TAP ithwele abagibeli abayi-15.8 yezigidi ngo-2018, ukonyuka kwesigidi esi-1.5 ngaphezulu konyaka ka-2017, ukubhalisa ukukhula kweepesenti ezili-10.4 ngaphezulu konyaka ophelileyo, ngaphezulu komndilili wokukhula kweenqwelo moya kwilizwe jikelele.
Kunyaka ophelileyo, IiNdlela zabeka i-TAP Air Portugal kwezona nqwelo-moya zili-10 zikhula ngokukhawuleza kwihlabathi. Into yomthwalo wenethiwekhi ye-airline ye-2018 yayiyi-81 ekhulwini.
Imizila ye-TAP yaseMntla Melika ikhule nge-9.6 yepesenti, ithwala abakhweli abongezelelweyo abangama-70,000 unyaka nonyaka, bebonke abangama-800,000 ezindleleni. NgoJuni kulo nyaka, i-TAP yinkonzo ephindwe kathathu phakathi kweNewark nePorto kwaye yongeza inkonzo eLisbon evela kwiimarike ezintathu ezintsha zase-US: Chicago, San Francisco kunye neWashington, DC.
Iindlela ze-TAP zaseYurophu (ngaphandle kwePortugal), ezithwele abakhweli abangama-932,000 ngaphezulu kunango-2017, nge-10.7 yepesenti yokukhula, ukuya kuthi ga kwisigidi sabantu ababhabayo ezindleleni.
Kwiinqwelomoya phakathi kweLisbon, Porto neFaro, i-TAP ithuthwe-okokuqala ngqa-ngaphezulu kwesigidi sabakhweli, ifikelela kwirekhodi eli-1.1 yezigidi, emele ukukhula nge-9.4 yepesenti kunyaka ophelileyo.
Iinqwelomoya ezihamba phakathi kwelizwekazi kunye neAzores neMadeira zirekhode ukukhula okuphezulu kweepesenti ze-13.5, bebonke abagibeli abayi-1.3 yezigidi, i-156,000 ngaphezulu konyaka ophelileyo.
Iindlela ze-TAP zase-Afrika zibonise ukukhula okuthe kratya kwabakhweli, nge-116,000 ngaphezulu yokubhabha kunango-2017, iyonke yabagibeli abasisi-1.1 sezigidi, okanye ukwanda ngeepesenti ezili-11.3.
Iindlela zenqwelo moya eziya eBrazil zikwaqhubekile nokubona ukonyuka okuqinileyo kwenani labakhweli abathuthwayo kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Lilonke, i-TAP ithuthe abakhweli abazizigidi ezisisi-1.7 phakathi kwePortugal neBrazil, ukuya nokusuka kwizixeko ezili-11 esebenza kuzo kweli lizwe, eliye landa abantu abangama-124,000 ngo-2017, ngenxa yokukhula kwepesenti ye-7.8.
Ngokumalunga nezalathi eziphambili ezisetyenziswa kushishino lwezothutho lomoya, ngokwe-ASK (iikhilomitha zokuhlala ezifumanekayo, umlinganiselo wezihlalo ezikhoyo), i-TAP yayinayo, ngo-2018, ukukhula kweepesenti ze-12.3, kwi-47 yezigidi. I-RPK (iRevenue Passenger Kilometers, umlinganiselo wemfuno yezihlalo) inyuke nge-9.6 ekhulwini ukuya kwi-38 yezigidi zizonke. Zombini izikhombisi zibonisa ukuba ukukhula kwe-TAP kungaphezulu komndilili wokukhula kweshishini kwinqanaba laseYurophu nakwihlabathi.
Ngokunyuka konikezelo (ASK) lweepesenti ezingama-2.7 ngaphezulu kokunyuka kwemfuno (RPK), umthwalo umthwalo wawuyiipesenti ezingama-81, amanqaku amabini eepesenti angaphantsi kunowama-2017, ebeka izinga lokuhlala kweTAP kumanqanaba afana nomndilili welinye iYurophu. iinkampani (iipesenti ezingama-81.7) nangaphezulu komndilili wehlabathi, ngowama-2018, owawukufutshane neepesenti ezingama-80 (idatha ekhutshwe esidlangalaleni yi-IATA enxulumene nokuqokelelwa kude kube nguNovemba, 2018).
