The Portuguese government is once again looking to privatize or partly privatize the country’s national carrier, TAP Air Portugal. It seems that the International Consolidated Airlines Group or IAG (which includes British Airways and Iberia), is considering purchasing the Atlantic airline. However, the European Commission recently refused the group’s proposed takeover of Air Europa (Spain’s third-largest airline), so will it approve IAG taking over TAP?

While the US President’s flagship executive transport comprises a pair of modified Boeing 747s, other countries have opted for smaller jets – though still large relative to other nations. Like the UK, France, and some other nations, Canada’s flagship executive transport is now the Airbus A330.The Canadian government aims to convert all of these to multi-role tanker transports (MRTTs) in the future. The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) will eventually have 9 of these converted A330s in its fleet, with some having come 2nd-hand from Kuwait Airways, and others being purpose built for the Canadian Forces.
