TAP had a complicated relationship with Asia, involving (at different stages) Brussels, Sabena, Bangkok and Macau. Costs were bonkers and revenues low: not a situation that usually discouraged TAP, but the route was soon pulled. This was twenty year's back: TP is a new animal, but i can't see the present airline having the will to fly east again
