TAP Air Portugal Airbus A330-900neo "Star Alliance" - CS-TUK "Francisco de Almeida"
To highlight its affiliation with the world's largest airline alliance, one of the 19 long-range A330neo aircraft in TAP Air Portugal's fleet features a striking star on a black background on its tail, with the name "Star Alliance" displayed in large advertising lettering across almost the entire length of the fuselage.
This A330neo entered service in 2019 and is named after Francisco de Almeida, who sailed around Africa in the early 16th century, reaching present-day India and Sri Lanka and establishing Portugal's hegemony in the Indian Ocean that would last for a century.
