Lufthansa 747-400

Due to hurricane Leslie, back on the 13th of October 2018, Lufthansa cancelled some flights. So, on the following day, Lisbon got a 747 as a gift.

Welcome Home... And Goodbye

Today Lisbon welcomed the newest addition to TAP Air Portugal fleet, CS-TJK arriving from XFW. Saddly, we also said goodbye to the oldest A330-200, CS-TOH, which served as a prototype aircraft for Airbus Industries, flying with both the GE CF6-80 and RR Trent 700, and then, when it went to Austrian Airlines, converted to A330-223 with PW4000. While flying for Austrian, it had been painted with Star Alliance paint scheme, and with TAP it stayed always with the Star Alliance corporate livery. Today, it departed to Lleida-Alguaire Aiport, in Spain, for storage, and most likely, scrapping. CS-TOH was also the first A330 I photographed earlier in 2013.

Aer Lingus Retro

I guess Aer Lingus read my last post on Sunday, because yesterday, Monday, they sent their retro to Lisbon, which I hadn't seen yet!

Some weeks ago I finally got this nice special livery by Aer Lingus. Now only missing the other one, EI-DEI and their retro.

Ukraine vs Russia

Some months ago an A320 from Windrose went to Lisbon for some maintenance. At the time of it's takeoff, Ural's A319 was also leaving just in front of him. Interestingly, Windrose never got close to the Russian airliner during the taxi to the runway.

Air X Charter

A ''BIG'' one! This A340 visited Lisbon several times, transporting the Portuguese Football team. This is his first arrival at the portuguese capital. Later on it received the Portuguese Football Federation titles.

Skyteam by Alitalia

Erliar this year, Lisbon received some flights from Italy performed by Alitalia's 777s. One of those flights was operated with EI-DDH, Alitalia's 777 wearing Skyteam livery.
