PH-TVD

Boeing 737-2K2C/Adv

20943/405

Transavia Holland

 

 

The first report I have of PH-TVD at Riem is from 6 September 1975, about half a year after it was delivered to Transavia Holland. The airframe was also seen at Riem on 15 March 1980 as PH-TVD wearing full Air Djibouti colours (but no titles).

This aircraft had a long history (see below) and finally went out with a landing accident in 2018.

Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding and heathrow junkie:

This aircraft was built as a 'C', fitted with a main deck cargo door and could be used for either passengers or freight. It was delivered to Transavia in Mar-75 as PH-TVD and during it's life with Transavia it spent more time flying for other airlines than it did with them.

 

PH-TVD c/n 20943 - Boeing 737-2K2C was delivered new to Transavia Holland in Mar 1975, one of around half a dozen bought in the mid 1970s to replace their fleet of Caravelles. During the 70s and 80s the aircraft spent a lot of the time leased out to other airlines, including British Airways. Final lease was to Indian Airlines between 1986 and 1990, and the aircraft was then sold to Europe Airpost as F-GGVP. In 2003, the aircraft went to Republic Express Airlines of Indonesia as PK-RPH. Passing to Jayawijaya Dirgantara later in the 2000s, and re-registered PK-JRM, the aircraft was damaged in a landing accident in 2018 and withdrawn from use.
