First flown in Mar-09 with the Airbus test registration F-WWKN, this aircraft was ordered by ILFC for lease to XL Airlines UK as G-XLXC. However, XL Airways UK had ceased operations in Sep-08. The lease was to be transferred to XL Airways France, but that wasn't taken up.

 

The aircraft was parked at Toulouse until it was leased to Gulf Air as A9C-KJ in Jun-09. It was withdrawn from service and stored at Bahrain in Jan-13 before being returned to the lessor in Mar-13 and stored at Lake Charles, LA, USA.

 

It was leased to Air Europa as EC-MAJ in Mar-14. The aircraft was withdrawn from service and initially stored at Chateauroux, France in Jan-20 before being returned to the lessor and stored at Perpignan, France in early Feb-20. It was moved to Barcelona, Spain in Jul-20 for further storage.

 

The aircraft was leased to WAMOS Air in Sep-20 and was stored at Madrid, Spain on delivery. It moved to Ciudad Real Central Airport, Spain in Nov-20 for further storage and entered service as a 'Preighter' in Feb-21. The aircraft returned to passenger service in a Y366 configuration in Feb-22.

 

In Jun-22 it was wet-leased to Jet2.com for the summer season. Current, 01-Aug-22.
