Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
06 April 2007
Built for Swissair as HB-IQD in 1999 and briefly flown by successor Swiss International, this A.330-200 was withdrawn from use in late 2003, and handed over to Guadeloupe-based Air Caraïbes in January 2004, together with a second aircraft, in order for Air Caraibes to start regular Pointe-a-Pitre to Paris-Orly flights, for which it also established a base at Orly.
Now registered F-OFDF, the aircraft became a regular at Zürich, as it was normally shuttled back and forth between Orly and Zürich, for attention with SR Technics. F-OFDF was captured leaving after maintenance, about to line up on runway 28 amidst an Airbus heavy departure rush, following a Swiss A.340-300 that can be seen lifting off, and followed by another SRT visitor behind, a Gulf Air A.330.
F-OFDF is still with Air Caraïbes today, but is sort of a stand-by aircraft, being stored in France when not used, and regularly reactivated when needed. Flights across the pond are now mostly operated by subsidiary Air Caraibes Atlantique, with new generation A.350s.
