6Y-JMC 2 Airbus A340-312 Air Jamaica LHR 17NOV01

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 28-Dec-22, plus DeNoise AI. Taken on a misty November morning!

 

Named: "Spirit of Jamaica" (later "Spirit of New York").

 

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJD, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Air Mauritius in May-94 as 3B-NAT. It was returned to the lessor in Mar-99 and leased to Air Jamaica as 6Y-JMC in May-99.

 

The aircraft returned to the lessor in May-05 and was leased to Air Canada as C-FDRO in Jun-05. It was returned to ILFC in Oct-07 and had been due for lease to Air Madrid, however they ceased operations in Dec-06.

 

Instead, the aircraft was leased to Aerolineas Argentinal as LV-BMT in Nov-07. It was returned to ILFC in Dec-13 and was permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA.

 

Note: The registration 6Y-JMC was used previously on an Air Jamaica Boeing 727-200 between Nov-75/Jan-85.
