Surinam Airways today operated its first commercial flight from Amsterdam to Paramaribo with the ‘new’ Airbus A340-300, named Pride of Suriname and registered PZ-TCW.
The aircraft departed from Amsterdam Schiphol this morning at 10:57 local time and landed land at Suriname’s international airport Zanderij almost nine hours later, at 14:47 local time.
The new Airbus is leased from V2 Aviation from Dubai. It was formerly flying with Air Belgium under registration OO-ABD. The Slovenian company Skubin Design provided the Airbus with a house style in February by means of stickers applied on parts of the former Air Belgium livery.
The aircraft was in Brussels in recent days for a so-called A-check and arrived at Schiphol yesterday.
