TAP Air Portugal is the first airline to fly the A330 neo, or A330-900. The aircraft, a revamped and more fuel-efficient version of the best-selling A330 with new engines entered service in late 2018. The A330neo will be central in TAP's fleet modernization plans.

TAP Air Portugal DC-3 CS-TDA (1:200) by Herpa Models Item Number: HE557603Founded in 1945, TAP started operations in 1946 with DC-3 aircraft. CS-TDA was the first of a total of eight "Dakotas" that were used all the way through to the early 1960s.

One of today's most important regional aircraft underwent a modernization program in the 1/500 scale. Several small visual improvements, including a more detailed landing gear, lift the ATR-72 up to today's quality expectations.

One by one, TAP's A320s are being retrofitted with the efficiency-raising Sharklets. CS-TNS, named after Portugal's first king, Afonso I, has already received the 2.5-meter high winglets.

This colorful livery is decorated with various elements, presenting sights and pleasures that await visitors in Portugal�s two major cities Porto and Lisbon. One year ago, TAP started the stopover program through which transit passengers can choose to interrupt their trip in Porto or Lisbon for three or five days. Nearly 70,000 people have taken advantage of this service since.�

Following the retro color scheme (item no 530668), TAP now presents a colorful livery, promoting Portugal as a stopover destination. One year ago, TAP started the stopover-program with which transit passengers can interrupt their trip in Lisbon or Porto for up to three days.

In recent years, retro schemes have become a regular sight, pleasing aviation enthusiasts and collectors. TAP now joins the trend; CS-TOV sports the livery, albeit with slight variations, used since 1945 through to the early 1980s.
