This aircraft was delivered to Maersk Air as OY-APL in Feb-98. It was leased to LOT Polish Airlines as SP-LKK in Mar-01 and returned to Maersk Air as OY-APL in Apr-04.

 

It was wet-leased to DBA,com (Germany) a few days later. DBA was acquired by Air-Berlin in Aug-06 but continued to operate as a separate company. It technically became DBA,com (powered by Air-Berlin) in Apr-07.

 

In the meantime, Maersk Air had become Sterling Airlines and the aircraft was returned to them in Oct-07. Two days later the aircraft was ferried to Centralia, ON, Canada and sold to Wells Fargo Bank Northwest as N737RH (as trustee for Travera Air, Indonesia).

 

In Dec-07 it was ferried via Bournemouth UK to Jakarta-HLP and was registered PK-TVZ with Travera Air. The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Jakarta-HLP in Jan-19. It was sold to Enrique Pineryo as T7-CTA (San Marino) in Dec-19 and is operated on his behalf by Comlux San Marino, with a VIP interior.

 

It was stored at Madrid, Spain in Apr-21 as a consequence of COVID-19. Since then it has been stored at Vilnius, Lithuania. Ostrava, Czechia. Prestwick, Scotland, UK for varying periods and is currently stored at Montpellier, France. Updated 04-Feb-22.

Pineyro owns Aquafilms, a film production company in Argentina and currently has a VIP Boeing 787-8...
