VINTAGE AIRCRAFT - CS-TDA is the historical record of the first aircraft to join the commercial fleet of TAP (Transportes Aéreos Portugueses) in 1945
The crew was repatriated and the aircraft was integrated into the Portuguese Military Aeronautics with registration D-2.
In 1945, it was converted for civilian use and delivered to the newly created TAP, receiving the historic registration CS-TDA.
After about 13 years of service with TAP, it was transferred to the DETA airline in Mozambique (with the name "Gorongosa" and registration CR-AGB), later returning to the Portuguese Air Force (FAP).
The Douglas DC-3 currently preserved and painted in the original TAP colors and registration CS-TDA (taken to the Air Museum in Sintra in 2012) actually corresponds to another historic ex-DGAC fuselage (with the original registration CS-DGA) restored with this tribute.

FLEET - Swiss to phase-out all A220s
Swiss's Chief Financial Officer announced that the airline has decided to optimize its European fleet, focusing on the Airbus A320neo and A321neo. This move is part of an effort to achieve greater efficiency, necessary due to rising costs.
As a result of this new fleet strategy, the airline will retire its A220 fleet. Earlier this year, Swiss had already decided to use two of its A220-100s as a source of spare parts, dismantling them. Now, the remaining seven A220-100s will be completely withdrawn from service by the end of 2027. According to the Chief Financial Officer, the 21 A220-300s should begin to be decommissioned in the 2030s.

SPECIAL LIVERY - JAL Launches Specially Painted "JAL Tunku Tunku JET" to Support GREEN×EXPO 2027
Tokyo, JAPAN―Japan Airlines (JAL) will launch a specially painted aircraft, the "JAL Tunku Tunku JET," on Saturday, November 7, 2026, to generate momentum for the International Horticultural Expo 2027, Yokohama, Japan (hereinafter referred to as "GREEN×EXPO 2027"), which will take place in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, starting Friday, March 19, 2027. The liveried aircraft features the EXPO 2027 YOKOHAMA JAPAN Official Mascot TunkuTunku.
Onboard the "JAL Tunku Tunku JET," passengers will be served beverages in specially designed paper cups. Additionally, starting in November, official GREEN×EXPO 2027 promotional videos ("Beginner's Guide Edition" and "Quiz" Edition) will be available on JAL's inflight entertainment system.
At an unveiling ceremony on November 6, JAL hosted a special collaborative event titled "GREEN×EXPO 2027 Specially Painted Aircraft 'JAL Tunku Tunku JET' Unveiling Ceremony Produced by JUNKO KOSHINO," featuring world-renowned fashion designer Junko Koshino, recipient of the Order of Culture in 2023.
■ Overview of the First Specially Painted Aircraft "JAL Tunku Tunku JET"
Special Collaboration with JUNKO KOSHINO:
"GREEN×EXPO 2027 Specially Painted Aircraft 'JAL Tunku Tunku JET' Unveiling Ceremony Produced by JUNKO KOSHINO"
During the ceremony, a specially constructed runway in the hangar featured 37 JAL Group employees, including JAL athlete-employees. Dressed in vibrant attire inspired by nature, such as flowers and greenery, they promoted the appeal of GREEN×EXPO 2027 across diverse regions, generations, and industries.
Starting with the 1970 Osaka Expo, JUNKO KOSHINO has led numerous national projects through fashion, including serving as a senior advisor for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, and supervising the uniforms for the operating staff.
Through this collaboration with JUNKO KOSHINO, who continues to showcase Japanese aesthetics and creativity to the world, JAL aims to widely promote the values of "coexistence with nature" and a "sustainable future," further fostering momentum for GREEN×EXPO 2027.
Comment from JUNKO KOSHINO:
"It is a great honor to have participated in this special collaboration expressing 'JAL's surprising hospitality,' which is rooted in refined Japanese gestures--a country that speaks of history and the future simultaneously.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter--the flowers and plants that color Japan's four seasons are beautifully expressed in traditional clothing such as Kimono and Yukata. Their motifs and decorations exist as powerful messages that bring richness to our daily life and human interactions. While there are countless flowers and plants across the globe that remain unknown, may GREEN×EXPO 2027 serve as the origin of international friendship and exchange through the world's flowers and greenery."
Looking ahead, JAL plans to introduce a second "JAL Tunku Tunku JET" on international routes. The JAL Group remains committed to supporting the success of GREEN×EXPO 2027 through these dedicated flights and promotional efforts.
