TAM Linhas Aéreas (São Paulo Congonhas) has ended scheduled A330-200 passenger operations with PT-MVQ (cn 968) completing the type's last commercial service - México City International-São Paulo Guarulhos - on Monday, April 4.
The LATAM carrier is replacing the A330s with newer A350-900s and B767-300(ER)s.
TAM took delivery of twenty A330-200s direct from Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) between 1998 and 2011 (and leased two more from Gulf Air (GF, Bahrain International)). Of the twenty, eight have now been transferred to Turkish Airlines (TK, Istanbul Airport), two are with TAP Portugal (Lisbon), two are destined to go to Air Berlin (1991) (Berlin Tegel), and four are set to be parted out. The remaining four's futures have yet to be determined.
