Budget carrier Transavia has paid an unusual tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo by symbolically removing seat 7C from its flights to Funchal, a reference to the number the footballer wore throughout his career.
The gesture follows Ronaldo's announcement that he is ending his 23-year spell with the Portugal national team. He finishes with 234 international appearances and 146 goals.
Other airlines also reacted. TAP posted a message of tribute on social media, while Ryanair replied with a one-word jibe that sparked online debate.
