Named: "Monchengladbach".

 

First flown in Feb-04 with the Airbus test registration F-WWYV, this aircraft was delivered to Lufthansa as D-AIHI in Apr-04. It was placed in winter storage at Munich, Germany between Dec-15 / Mar-16.

 

When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit the world in Mar-20 the aircraft was initially stored at Munich and moved to Teruel, Spain for further storage in May-20. There was some discussion about permanently retiring the A340-600 fleet, however it returned to service in May-22.

 

The aircraft was permanently retired at Frankfurt-Hahn, Germany in Dec-25 and is due to be sold to USC Universal Sky Carrier GmbH for spares recovery. Updated 10-Dec-25.
