January 2022
It's not very common to do very short flight with widebody equipment. But during the holiday season, every year, there is a surge in the demand for flights between Portugal mainland and Madeira island. Not only because of families and students wanting to go back home for Christmas but because Madeira NYE's fireworks is a huge attraction to tourists.
Air Luxor used to send their A330s to the island during this season and I was fortunate to land there with this type of widebody a few times between 2003 and 2005 flying with both CS-TMT and CS-TQF aircraft.
17 years later here I am again, with different colors, and with a different motivation to be on this flight.

And if you got nostalgic when I referred to Air Luxor, those photos are also online:
