Former Air Belgium A340 operates first commercial flight for new operator Surinam Airways

Share

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.
