The
first delivered Airbus is this serial number 8 of the A330/340
series, and was delivered to Lufthansa on January
29th 1993. It was given
the city name Nürnberg, the
first of seven A340-211s for Lufthansa. Entry into service
of this aircraft was on March 1st 1993 between Frankfurt
(FRA)
and
Athens (ATH). After over five years in service, a big change
came on March 18th 1998 - Nürnberg got the Star Alliance colour
scheme - and the aircraft became very popular by the photographer
community. Now follow almost five new year of service by Lufthansa,
but on
January 13th 2003 it had its last flight for Lufthansa. The
same day it was shipped to Hamburg (HAM) for repaint into South African
Airways
(SAA) colours. SAA will lease this aircraft until all the
new A340-300E/A340-600 are delivered. As of today (mid April
2003) it's still stored at
HAM. |
