Hoʻohui wale ʻo TAP Air Portugal i ka mokulele 100th i kāna mau ʻauwaʻa, he Airbus A330neo, ke hoʻomākaukau nei ka mea lawe e hoʻomaka i ka hana i ka lā ʻapōpō mai Chicago O'Hare, a ma hope o kēia mahina mai Kapalakiko a me Wakinekona, DC. Ma ka lā 1 o Iune hoʻi, hoʻolauna ka TAP iā A321 LR i kāna hana US, e lele ana ma waena o Newark a me Porto.

ʻO kahi ʻauwaʻa o 100 kahi moʻolelo no ka mokulele 74 makahiki. ʻO ka nui, he 71 mau mokulele hou i hāʻawi ʻia ma ka TAP ma 2025, me 21 A330neos, 19 A320neos, 17 A321neos, a me 14 A321 Long Range jet. ʻO TAP ka mokulele mokulele no ka mokulele A330neo a ʻo ia wale nō ka mokulele ma ka honua e hoʻokele i nā mokulele NEO hou loa o Airbus.

Ma Iune 1, e hana ʻo TAP i ka lele kalepa transatlantic mua me kahi Airbus A321 Long Range, ma Iune 1, e haʻalele ana mai Porto no Newark Liberty International. ʻO kēia ka manawa mua e hana ai kahi mokulele ʻohana haiki, e hana mau ana i nā ala waena, e hana i kahi ala lōʻihi. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona hou o kēia mokulele e ʻae iā ia e lele ma luna o ka Atlantika, e hāʻawi ana i nā poʻe kaʻa i ka hōʻoluʻolu maikaʻi o kahi mokulele lōʻihi.

Ma ka lā 1 o Iune, hoʻomaka ʻo TAP i ʻelima mau huakaʻi kaʻapuni i kēlā me kēia pule ma waena o Chicago O'Hare a me Lisbon. Hoʻomaka ʻelima mau huakaʻi kaʻapuni i kēlā me kēia pule ma waena o Kapalakiko a me Lisbon i ka lā 10 o Iune, a laila hoʻomaka ʻelima mau huakaʻi kaʻapuni i kēlā me kēia pule ma waena o Wakinekona-Dulles a me Lisbon i Iune 16.

“ʻO ka lā ʻapōpō, he lā kaulana. He paionia ʻo TAP ma waena o ka ʻAkelanika me kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona hou o Airbus, ʻo ia ka mea maikaʻi loa a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi i ka honua, "wahi a Antonoaldo Neves, ka Pelekikena Hoʻokele o TAP. "ʻO ka hiki ke hana i nā mokulele transatlantic kahi waiwai hoʻohui o ka Airbus A321LR, kahi e hiki ai iā TAP ke hana i ka hapa nui o ke kūlana ʻāina ʻo Portugal, hāʻawi ʻia i kahi kokoke o ka US hikina a me ka hikina hikina o Brazil. ʻO ka hiki a me ka maʻalahi o kēia mokulele hiki iā mākou ke hoʻonui i nā pilina ma waena o Porto-New York a me Porto-São Paulo.

Me 16 noho pālahalaha piha, kūlana kiʻekiʻe loa, ʻehā o kēlā me kēia kanaka, hāʻawi pū ka Airbus A321LR i kahi ākea i ka papa Economy me nā noho ergonomic, e like me ka mea i loaʻa ma Airbus A330neo, a me kahi leʻaleʻa ma luna o ka moku a ʻōnaehana pili manuahi me nā leka i kākau palena ʻole ʻia.

ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o nā ʻauwaʻa mokulele, me 71 mau mokulele hou i hoʻolālā ʻia a hiki i ka makahiki 2025, he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ia o ka hoʻolālā o nā mea kuleana hou i hōʻike ʻia i ka manawa o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka mokulele i ka makahiki 2015. ʻO kēia mau mokulele hou loa, me nā noho hou a me nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa, aia ma ka naʻau o ka hoʻololi a me ka hoʻololi ʻana o TAP.

ʻO ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻauwaʻa o TAP, mai ka 2015 a i ka 2018, he 21% hoʻonui - ka hapa nui o kēlā me kēia mokulele ʻEulopa, i ulu aʻe ma ka awelika o 13% ma luna o ka manawa like, e like me ka ʻike ʻo Flight Global.

ʻO ka mokulele 7 mau makahiki ʻo ia kekahi o nā mokulele 10 kiʻekiʻe e ulu wikiwiki nei i kēia makahiki, e like me nā Routes. ʻO TAP ka mokulele mokulele ʻEulopa e ulu wikiwiki ana i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i nā makahiki ʻehā i hala iho nei, e lele ana he 39% o nā poʻe holo kaʻa, hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka awelika o nā mokulele mokulele ʻEulopa he 19% ma ka manawa like.

ʻO ka ʻauwaʻa hou ke ʻano o ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻoihana ala ala no TAP - e like me ka lawelawe hou i Lisbon mai Chicago O'Hare, San Francisco a me Washington-Dulles i kēia mahina aʻe. ʻO kēia mau mea hoʻohui, e lawelawe ʻo TAP i nā ʻīpuka 8 ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻehā mau makahiki i hala. Ua piʻi ka ulu kaʻa o TAP ma waena o Pokukala a me ʻAmelika ʻĀkau i ka 176.5% ma waena o 2015 a me 2018. Ma Brazil, kahi e hāʻawi ai ka mokulele i nā ʻīpuka nui loa i ʻEulopa, ua ʻike ʻo TAP i ka piʻi ʻana o 22.8% o nā mea kaʻa i ka manawa like.

E holo ana na mokulele o Chicago i na Poakahi, Poakolu, Poalima, Poaono, a me na Sabati, e haalele ana ia Chicago-O'Hare ma ka hora 6:05 pm, a hiki i Lisbon i ka hora 7:50 o ke kakahiaka ae. Haʻalele nā mokulele hoʻi mai Lisbon i ka hola 1:05pm, a hōʻea i O'Hare i ka hola 4:05pm.

E holo ana na mokulele SFO i ka Poakahi, Poalua, Poaha, Poaono a me na Sabati, mai Iune 10, e haalele ana ia SFO ma ka hora 4:10pm, a hiki i Lisbon i ka hora 11:25am o ke kakahiaka ae. Haʻalele nā mokulele hoʻi iā Lisbon i ka hola 10 am, a hōʻea i SFO i ka hola 2:40 pm.

"Ma mua o 70 mau mokulele hou ma ke ala, ʻo ka hoʻomaka wale nō kēia," wahi a David Neeleman, ka mea hoʻokumu o JetBlue Airways a me kahi mea kuleana nui ma TAP. "Loaʻa iā mākou he 10 mau ʻīpuka mai Brazil a hiki i Pokukala a manaʻoʻiʻo hiki iā mākou ke kākoʻo i ka helu like mai ka US. ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o kēia lā i Chicago a me Wakinekona, DC, e hōʻike ana i kahi huakaʻi kaulana loa ʻo Pokukala, ʻoi aku me nā malihini mai ka US Ke ulu pū nei kā mākou pūnaewele ma waho o Lisbon. Ke lawelawe nei mākou i kēia manawa ma kahi o 75 mau wahi ma ʻEulopa a me ʻApelika a ʻo 50 ka nui o kā mākou poʻe kaʻa ʻAmelika e lele nei iā mākou i nā wahi ma waho o Pokukala, nui ka poʻe e hoʻohana nei i kā mākou papahana Stopover Portugal kaulana.

E hōʻike ana ka A330neo i ka Airspace hou e Airbus cabin. Aia i kēia manawa ka hale hoʻokele waiwai ʻelua mau ʻāpana: Economy a me EconomyXtra. ʻO ka hoʻonohonoho a me ka hoʻolālā e hāʻawi i kahi lewa hou, me ka nui o ka legroom, kahi noho hohonu hohonu, a me nā uhi noho hou i nā aka o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka hina, a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka ʻulaʻula ma EconomyXtra. ʻO ke kahua noho ma ka hoʻokele waiwai maʻamau he 31 ʻīniha, ʻoiai hāʻawi ʻo Xtra i kahi lumi wāwae ʻekolu iniha me ka pitch o 34 iniha.
Ma ka papa ʻoihana Hoʻokō o TAP, hāʻawi ʻo TAP i 34 mau noho hoʻomaha piha piha i ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻeono kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi i ka wā e hoʻomoe piha ai. Eia kekahi, ua hoʻoikaika ʻo TAP i kāna mau noho papa ʻoihana hou e hoʻokomo i nā slot USB a me nā kumu uila pākahi, nā loulou no nā headphone, nā kukui heluhelu pākahi, a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe, me nā lumi hoʻopaʻa hou aku.

Hōʻike ka mokulele A330neo i kahi ʻōnaehana leʻaleʻa pilikino a me ka hoʻohui ʻana e hiki ai i ka leka uila manuahi. ʻO TAP ka mokulele ʻEulopa mua e hāʻawi i ka leka uila ma ka pūnaewele ma nā mokulele lōʻihi me ka manuahi no nā poʻe kaʻa a pau.

Ma ka papa ʻoihana Hoʻokō o TAP, hāʻawi ʻo TAP i 34 mau noho hoʻomaha piha piha i ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻeono kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi i ka wā e hoʻomoe piha ai.

Mai kona hoʻomaka mua ʻana i ka makahiki 1945 me hoʻokahi mokulele wale nō, ua ulu mau nā ʻauwaʻa TAP:

• 1945 – 1
• 1955 – 12
• 1965 – 9
• 1975 – 28
• 1985 – 29
• 1995 – 41
• 2005 – 42
• 2015 – 75
• 2019 – 100

Ua hoʻolauna ʻo TAP i ka papahana ʻo Portugal Stopover i ka makahiki 2016 e hoʻohuli hou i ka malihini 'ma waho o Lisbon'. Hiki i ka poʻe huakaʻi hele i nā wahi ʻEulopa a me ʻApelika a pau o TAP ke hauʻoli a hiki i ʻelima pō ma Lisbon a i Porto paha ma ke ala, no ka ʻole o ka mokulele.

ʻO ka Portugal Stopover, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "Best Stopover Program" na ka makasina Global Travel, kahi hui o nā hoa a ʻoi aku ma mua o 150 e hāʻawi nei i nā makana kūikawā no nā mea kūʻai Stopover no nā hōkele hōkele a me nā ʻike hoʻohanohano e like me ke komo manuahi ʻana i nā hale hōʻikeʻike, e nānā ana ka dolphin i ʻO ka muliwai Sado a me nā ʻono meaʻai - ʻo kahi ʻōmole manuahi hoʻi o ka waina Pokiki ma nā hale ʻaina komo.

Hiki i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ke hauʻoli i kahi hoʻomaha ma Lisbon a i ʻole Porto inā paha i Pokukala ko lākou huakaʻi hope, e like me: Faro (Algarve); ʻO Ponta Delgada a i ʻole Terceira (nā Azores); a me Funchal a i ʻole Porto Santo (Madeira).
