葡萄牙政府宣布汉莎以12.01亿欧元获葡航44.9%股权 私有化第一阶段完成
里斯本讯——据澳门媒体援引欧洲新闻网报道，葡萄牙政府10月14日在内阁会议后宣布，德国汉莎集团以12.01亿欧元获得葡萄牙国家航空公司葡萄牙航空（TAP）44.9%的股权，葡萄牙航空私有化第一阶段完成，收购仍需获得监管机构批准。
葡萄牙总理蒙特内格罗（Luís Montenegro）表示，政府成功完成国家航空公司私有化进程的第一阶段，整个过程严格遵循竞争原则、谈判严谨并对公众完全透明。他说，政府在评估各方竞标方案后选择汉莎，因其财务报价比竞争对手高出16%，且不确定性更低；按此报价，葡航总估值达25.52亿欧元。交易后葡萄牙政府仍持有50.1%股权，另有5%由员工持有，汉莎将负责执行层面的管理与运营。
据葡方公布的方案，投资包括投入5亿欧元在坦科斯建立新的飞行员培训学校、在阿威罗设立创新中心等，预计带动约3,000个相关就业，合计可创造约5,500个直接与间接职位；葡航机队计划到2035年扩大至117架，2035年后增至130架，2030年起交付最多8架空客A350-900。葡萄牙财政部长此前表示，私有化进程预计需18至24个月、即在2028年完成，还须获得欧盟委员会批准。汉莎与葡航同属星空联盟，葡航将继续留在该联盟。

Lufthansa Wins 44.9 Percent of TAP for €1.201 Billion as Portugal Completes First Privatisation Stage
LISBON — The Portuguese government announced after a cabinet meeting on October 14 that Germany's Lufthansa Group will acquire 44.9 percent of national flag carrier TAP Air Portugal for €1.201 billion, completing the first stage of TAP's privatisation, according to European news reporting carried by Macao media. The acquisition remains subject to regulatory approval.
Prime Minister Luís Montenegro said the government had successfully completed the first stage of the privatisation, in a process that strictly followed competition principles, with rigorous negotiation and full transparency. He said Lufthansa was chosen after bids were assessed because its financial offer was 16 percent higher than its rival's and carried lower uncertainty, valuing TAP at €2.552 billion in total. The Portuguese state retains 50.1 percent and employees hold 5 percent, while Lufthansa will be responsible for executive management and operations.
The plan includes €500 million for a new pilot training school at Tancos and an innovation centre in Aveiro, among other investments, with about 3,000 related jobs expected and some 5,500 direct and indirect jobs in total. TAP's fleet is planned to grow to 117 aircraft by 2035 and 130 after 2035, with up to eight Airbus A350-900s delivered from 2030. Portugal's finance minister previously said the privatisation is expected to take 18 to 24 months, completing in 2028, and requires European Commission approval. Both Lufthansa and TAP are Star Alliance members, and TAP will remain in the alliance.
