On 18 April, a stored and former Cathay Pacific Airbus A330-300 (last known registration B-HLI) caught fire during the dismantling process at Ciudad Real Airport in Spain. Firefighters from the province of Ciudad Real rushed to the airport.
The 28-year-old aircraft was stored at the airport, which is known for its long-term storage capacity, since 2020. Apparently, fire broke out in the tail section, then engulfed the entire fuselage.
The fire department released the following images:
