OE-LAH 1 Airbus A340-212 Austrian Airlines KIX 12JAN99
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 29-Mar-17, plus DeNoise AI 30-Dec-22.
Named: "Asia".
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJO, this aircraft was delivered to Austrian Airlines as OE-LAH in Feb-95.
It was sold to the Ingepar/TAP Consortium in May-06 and leased to the French Air Force as F-RAJB for 5 years. The aircraft was sold to Celine Aviation as F-HCEL in Jun-06 while the lease to the French Air Force continued (as far as I'm aware the aircraft remained as F-RAJB).
In Sep-06 it was leased to the French Ministry of Defence and reverted to the French Air Force in Nov-06. The aircraft was stored at Irstres Air Base in Dec-20 and advertised for sale,
It was 'sold' to LMO AERO as F-HLMG, for the Kenyan Red Cross in Mar-21 and moved to Chateauroux, France where it was stored. The intention was to use it for the transport of COVID Vaccines and PPE supplies. However, that didn't happen and it remained stored.
It was ferried to Kertajati, West Java, Indonesia in May-22 for continued storage. I'm assuming that as it's now 28 years old, it's permanently retired. Updated 30-Dec-22.
