G-OOAA Airbus A320-231 Air 2000 MAN 27DEC98
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 26-Dec-21 (DeNoise AI).
A dull December day in Manchester.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWBZ, this aircraft was delivered to the Orix Aircraft Corporation as G-OOAA in Mar-92 and leased to Air 2000 the following month.
It was returned to Orix in Oct-00, re-registered N291MX in Nov-00 and leased to Mexicana. It was repossessed and stored at Mexico City when Mexicana ceased operations in Aug-10.
The aircraft was due to be leased to the 'new' Mexicana in early 2011 but the finance didn't materialise and the aircraft remained stored at Mexico City. In Aug-11 it was ferried to Marana, AZ, USA, sold to Evergreen Trade Inc and permanently retired. The registration was cancelled in Oct-11 and it was eventually broken up.
