Specific conditions of transport

TAP has different conditions of transport for firearms carried to some countries.

United Kingdom

  • The transport of firearms from/to the United Kingdom is allowed, with restrictions, but only on presentation of the license to carry a firearm.
  • You must carry a special permit/license issued by the local police authority (in the UK).
  • Firearms are transported with the passenger as personal baggage, subject to check-in.
  • All handguns (pistols/revolvers) are restricted under United Kingdom legislation and cannot be carried aboard TAP aircraft.
Note: Transportation of weapons is not allowed on flights that depart and/or arrive at London City (LCY). This applies to carry-on, checked baggage and cargo.

Switzerland

The transport of firearms or ammunition considered "weapons of war" to or from Switzerland is not permitted.

Brazil

If you are planning to travel and want information on the transportation of weapons and ammunition to and from Brazil, please visit the Federal Police website here ((this site only exists in the Portuguese of Brazil language).
For official travel involving national security forces, special regulations apply. In such cases, it is necessary to contact TAP via telephone. 


Checking in and transport fees

Passengers traveling with firearms and ammunition on the plane  must check in 1 hour before the usual time.

A fixed fee of € 50 / 65 USD / 80 CAD is charged for transporting this equipment for each leg of the trip. 

For example:
Round-trip flight: Lisbon - Stockholm - € 50 / 65 USD / 80 CAD and Stockholm - Lisbon - € 50 / 65 USD / 80 CAD.
Flight with stopovers: Frankfurt - Lisbon - New York - € 50 / 65 USD / 80 CAD or New York - Lisbon - Frankfurt - € 50 / 65 USD / 80 CAD. 
This charge is applicable to both baggage calculation methods: Weight Concept* and Items Concept**.


* Used when the baggage allowance is determined by the total amount of weight the passenger transports.
** Number of pieces of baggage a passenger carries. This concept applies throughout the TAP network.
