Nice to see another c/s on a 321. though the current TACA c/s is pretty wark IMHO. The addition of birds on some of the 320's help's, but they still look pretty bland if you ask me.

Shes beautiful. I agree though that there is too much euro white. Any IFE on board?
Taca will be the first Latin American operator for the A321.
Next Year TAM will be the first South American operator for the A321.

Quoting RCS763AV (Reply 6): Very nice! Good to see TA acquire bigger aircraft!
True, but it would be nice to see them have widebodies again... As to where it'll fly to, not to MSY for a while...

Quoting MIAMIx707 (Reply 18): If we count BWIA here, they were the first operator of the 321 in the region, back in 1996. Only stayed in the fleet for a few months.
True, but Trinidad and Tobago are not part of Latin America.
As a matter of fact, the Eastern Caribbean region is not considered Latin America, even though it includes Puerto Rico and Dominican Rep.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit posting...

Is it true they dumped them due to miserable performance? By that its meants they were "miss sold" the plane. Told it will do thing it won't.
I guess when fully loaded it didn't have the range. It seems dumb to get a plane that won't have the range you need. Airbus lie? BWIA was stupid? lol
Then they leased a 737-700 for a few months back in 1999, and then acquired the 737-800s instead.
Hopefully TACA change that plain colorscheme soon, they've had it since 1997, old by todays standards Again I heard a Miami firm did this livery, instead of going to a of local artist/designer.

Although it is located just off-shore from South America, Trinidad and Tobago is sometimes considered to be part of the North American continent by virtue of its being a Caribbean country. Culturally and historically all Caribbean islands are very close together and all of them are often labeled as North American.
Trinidad and Tobago is considered a Transcontinental nation, which is a country belonging to more than one continent, by not only geographical but also another definitions – divisions can arise for several reasons, be they political, social or geographical.
Geographically, Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba and the Netherland Antilles are regarded as South American islands, but the Caribbean is more often treated as a whole, or all included with North America.
I personally consider Trinidad and Tobago as part of the Caribbean (North America) and not South America. For example, if you look to the soccer continental zones, Trinidad & Tobago are part of the North American zone, but so it is Guyana and Surinam (??), so I guess it is a matter of personal interpretation.

27 MIAMIx707: Ricariza, thanks but I can't care less about the soccer continental zones. Soccer is fun to play, other than that I don't care about it and don't wat

29 A388: WOW, nice picture and great livery. I really like there livery and always watching their aircraft take off at MIA. The 763 I saw in the early '90s wit

32 Ghost77: AJ is an old A321operator in the region!! Ricardo APM
33 Bomber996: Maybe BWIA should have gone for the A321-200 instead. Was that model even available in '97? Peace
34 MGASJO: Anyone knows how many people will TA think to fit in this bird. C12 Y150?
