In January Aircraft disassembly and dismantling company AELS will welcome 3 aircraft at Twente Airport: one Boeing 747 and two Airbus A340s. Air France will fly two A340-300s, one on the 19th and the other on the 22nd to AELS. The former KLM aircraft PH-BFF will also make its last flight on the 22nd of January. The flight of the Boeing 747-400 will be executed by KLM on behalf AELS, the new owner of the airframe. All three aircraft will be disassembled by AELS according to the highest environmental standards. Weather conditions might cause the flight to be delayed or rescheduled.
If you are interested in the arrival of the aircraft, we suggest you keep an eye on Facebook or Twitter for updates. The arrival of the aircraft can be seen from the spotter’s hill next to the airfield. Please only make use of the designated areas, there is a nature reserve around the airport that needs to be protected. It’s not possible to be on the airport when the aircraft arrives, also not for the media. Visiting the aircraft after arrival and during the disassembly is also not possible. We ask everybody to send their best picture of the arrival to [email protected]. The best picture of each aircraft we will reward again with a cut out aircraft window.
