TAP ends Johannesburg route
Times Live:
“TAP PORTUGAL will cease flights on the Lisbon-Johannesburg route from June 1, the airline said this week.
The carrier plans to focus on its direct route between Maputo and Lisbon. Travellers wishing to fly from Johannesburg will be accommodated on short-haul flights on Mozambican carrier LAM and South African Airways.”
“It’s a quiet end to a 45 years of history.”
“TAP began commercial operations on September 19, 1946, flying Douglas DC-3 Dakotas between Lisbon and Madrid
The “Imperial Line”
The next major route to open was the “Imperial Line” from Lisbon to Luanda in Angola and Lourenco Marques (now Maputo) in Mozambique, Portugal’s biggest colonies. The Imperial Line started out with the same plodding and unbreakable DC-3s that had had revolutionised air travel in the 1930s – but…
flights involved 12 overnight stops as the aircraft rumbled their way slowly down Africa.

Flights to Johannesburg began in the mid-60s, first using Lockheed Constellation piston-engined aircraft and then Boeing 707s, the Jet Age airliner that did for modern air travel what the DC-3 had done for commercial aviation in 1935.”
Art Deco exhibition continues in Madeira until February; Art Deco in Porto; Yellow weather alert
Portugal & Madeira news from Paul Abbiati:
Art Deco in Madeira
‘Martin everso’ prompted me to post this again today from his comments about this exhibition . Thanks Martin.
The Art Deco exhibition at Casa das Mudas above Calheta Marina has more than 300 pieces of furniture, paintings, statues, ceramics, glass and silverware and other decorative objects from some of the most famous Art Deco decorators like Lalique, Brandt, Perzel, Leleu, Porteneuve and Ruhlmann.
Ruhlmann was the creator of the dining room in the Casa de Serralves in Porto, one of the finest examples of Art Deco architecture in Portugal.“Casa de Serralves is a house and museum located in Parque de Serralves in Porto, Portugal.
Owned by the Serralves Foundation, the house was built by the second Conde de Prado, Carlos Alberto Cabral and designed by the architect José Marques da Silva. It is a unique example of Streamline Moderne architecture in Portugal.
Completed in 1940, Casa de Serralves welcomed presentations made by the Foundation between 1989 and 1999. In 1996, Casa de Serralves was classified as a building of public interest due to its architectural interest. Today the house is part of the the Museu Serralves.”
