The TAI was created to go to all the french colonies in 1946 (mostly african). It went to Bora bora for the 1st time in 1958 before the opening of the tahitian airport in 1960. It became the 1st french compagny to go to polynesia at that time.
By the way, The PANAM made their first Tahiti to Hawaii, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Auckland, Pago Pago, Dallas and Vancouver in 1963 for 16 years.

So that mug was probably a gift given between 1960 and 1963 on TAI airlines.

Lots of more cool TAI posters here : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/amicale.uta/affiches_tai.htm

Now check what I found from the compagny:
