TAP Air Portugal flight returns to Lisbon after in‑flight emergency

On 1 August 2026 a TAP Air Portugal Airbus A330‑200 operating flight TP067 from Lisbon to Curitiba experienced a cabin depressurisation about half an hour after take‑off. The crew declared an emergency (squawk 7700), performed fuel‑burning orbits over the Atlantic and returned to Lisbon’s Humberto Delgado Airport, landing safely at 14:06. Passengers were assisted and will be re‑booked for onward travel; no injuries were reported.

A separate incident occurred on 2 August 2026 when TAP flight TP217, an Airbus A321neo bound for Boston, declared an emergency over the mid‑Atlantic due to a technical problem. Air traffic control cleared the aircraft to divert to Lajes Airport in the Azores, where it landed without incident. The airline confirmed the safety of all on board and said the aircraft will undergo inspection before returning to service. Both events involved TAP Air Portugal aircraft returning to Portugal after an in‑flight emergency, with passengers unharmed.
