Portugal’s government has paid short-shrift to remarks made by TAP CEO Luís Rodrigues in an interview published today with the Financial Times. Rodrigues argued that the State should keep a stake in the airline after privatisation, and that investors outside the aviation sector should be attracted. But AD’s infrastructure minister Miguel Pinto Luz has retorted that Rodrigues should stick to management of TAP (which “needs to be managed well”) and “not meddle in shareholder issues”.
