Did Azul cancel it’s A350’s?

Some of you may have went through the issue of getting a windowless seat on the 737… well, not with the -200! (and the -100 as well)

I actually love that livery. When you think about it, when they changed liveries it always looked like a completely different airline.

Would have loved to have flown with the Silver Spirit ngl.

At least they still have the 2-2 seating up front.

TAM has used all 3 engine options on the A330

That looks too good to be true.

Fun fact: PT-MVF is still flying with Maleth Aero as 9H-JFS.

Unless multiple people faked multiple Jetphotos shots over 4 years, 2 aircraft types and 7 specific aircraft at an equal amount of locations, this is in fact real

The 2 RR ones flew with TAM for a very short time

No clue why they got quite a lot of GE ones tho (PT-MVF, VG, VH, VK, VL)

For quite a while, PT-MXB had a slightly different livery with a smaller TAM. That was eventually fixed.

PT-MXI for comparison

Back in 2011 when Qantas ferried a 5th engine on one of it’s 747’s to Johannesburg, as a replacement for another 747 of it’s that has broke the other day. Due to increased weight, the airplane resulted in having a bigger fuel burn, and it had to stop in Perth for a refuel. The flight took a total of 15 hours in total, comparing the regular 11 hour service.

TAROM’s single DC10. It was leased back in the ‘90’s from ChallengAir. Sad it only benefited from a short life with TAROM.
