TAP Air Cargo introduces TAP Secure Track to deliver real-time visibility and stronger protection for high-value shipments
(IN SHORT) TAP Air Cargo has launched TAP Secure Track, a new premium cargo tracking service that uses GPS and IoT sensors to provide real-time monitoring of shipments across its global network, measuring factors such as location, temperature, light exposure, and physical impacts. The single-use tracking devices allow customers to follow their cargo throughout its journey and receive automated alerts if pre-defined thresholds are exceeded, giving logistics professionals greater control and helping reduce costs linked to tracking failures, cold chain issues, or security incidents. The service is particularly aimed at industries handling sensitive or high-value goods, such as pharmaceuticals and electronics, and is now available worldwide through TAP Air Cargo sales.
(PRESS RELEASE) LISBON, Portugal, 2026-Feb-2 — /Travel PR News/ — TAP Air Cargo has enhanced the security and visibility of freight movements across its global network with the introduction of a new premium tracking solution designed to provide real-time insight into cargo conditions throughout its journey. The launch of TAP Secure Track marks another milestone in the airline’s ongoing modernization of its cargo operations, offering customers a more transparent and controlled way to monitor their shipments from origin to destination.
The new service relies on a combination of GPS technology and advanced Internet of Things (IoT) sensors that continuously collect and transmit data on key variables, including the precise location of the shipment, temperature fluctuations, exposure to light, and any physical shocks or impacts. This constant flow of information enables shippers to maintain a comprehensive and permanent record of the conditions under which their goods are transported at every stage of the process. Customers can also opt to receive automated email alerts whenever sensor readings exceed pre-set thresholds related to temperature, movement, impact, or potential package opening.
TAP Secure Track operates using single-use devices, each equipped with a unique identifier. These sensors are provided to customers in advance so they can place them inside their cargo before transport, allowing for end-to-end tracking once the shipment is underway.
By giving logistics professionals full visibility over their consignments at any time, the service helps mitigate risks and reduce costs linked to tracking failures, cold chain disruptions, or security-related incidents. While available to all shippers, the solution has been developed with particular attention to sectors that handle highly sensitive or valuable goods, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, luxury items, and temperature-controlled products, where strict compliance and protection standards are essential.
Rita Rosário Garcia of TAP Air Cargo emphasized that customers increasingly demand not only fast delivery but also transparency, reliability, and confidence in the handling of their shipments. She noted that TAP Secure Track enables businesses to react swiftly to any irregularities, anticipate potential issues, and minimize financial or operational impacts.
The service is available worldwide and is distributed directly through TAP Air Cargo’s sales channels. Customers simply need to request the solution from TAP, reinforcing the airline’s strategic focus on high-value air cargo solutions that prioritize security, visibility, and trust.
