Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 05-Apr-22 (DeNoise AI).

 

With additional small, and rather indistinct, 'Daallo Airlines' titles by the forward door.

 

A long history of short leases... Delivered to a leasing company and leased to Air Belgium as OO-ILI in Oct-89, this aircraft was sub-leased to Icelandair for 7 weeks in Jan/Feb-96. Returned to Air Belgium in Feb-96 it was sub-leased to Sunways Sweden as SE-DSM in Mar-96.

 

It was returned to Air Belgium and the lessor in Nov-97 and was immediately leased to Britannia Airways as G-BXOL. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Mar-99 and leased to Air Holland Charter as PH-AHP the following month. It was returned to the lessor in Nov-99 and stored at Amsterdam until it was leased to Transavia Holland in Apr-00.

 

Returned to the lessor in Nov-00 it was again stored at Amsterdam until it was leased to British World Airlines in Jul-01 as G-OBWS. It returned to the lessor in Dec-01 and was stored at Shannon until May-02 when it was leased to MyTravel Airways UK as G-CCMY (it was originally to have been registered G-CBOY but that wasn't used).

 

In Oct-02 it was sub-leased to Daallo Airlines (Djibouti) in full MyTravel livery with tiny additional 'Daallo Airlines' titles. It returned to MyTravel in Jul-03 and was returned to the lessor at the end of the summer season in Oct-03.

 

A week later it was leased to Orient Thai Airlines and immediately sub-leased to Kampuchea Airlines as XU-123, operating in MyTravel basic orange/blue livery without titles! It was returned to Orient Thai Airlines in Dec-03 and was operated by their subsidiary company 'One-Two-Go by Orient Thai'.

 

It was returned to the lessor in Aug-04 and leased to Omni Air International as N549AX later the same month. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Oct-10 and was sold to FedEx Federal Express the following month.

 

It was stored at Victorville, CA, USA until it was ferried to Singapore-Seletar in May-11 for conversion to freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door. It was re-registered N939FD in Aug-11 and entered service with Fed Ex after freighter completion in Oct-11. Current, updated 06-Aug-21.
