JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2013 Found this on ch.aviation: Aerolíneas Argentinas to take four ex-Malaysia Airlines A330-200s 26APR2013 Aerolineas Argentinas (AR, Buenos Aires Ezeiza) is to take delivery of four ex-Atlasjet Airlines (KK, Antalya) and ex-Malaysia Airlines (MH, Kuala Lumpur Int'l) A330-200s (c/n's 290, 300, 358 and 364). The four form part of the Argentine carrier's greater plans to acquire twelve A330s over the next four years, allowing it to replace "most" of its long haul fleet which includes four A340-200s and seven A340-300s. According to Latin American news outlets, the four aircraft are to be leased from aircraft lessor ILFC for planned use on flights to Bogotá, Miami Int'l, Cancún and Caracas Simón Bolivar. All A330 classics are out of system. Whereas, there are 11 B734s still operational (not sure those on heavy maintenance checks)The list MMB MMD MMF MMJ MML MMU MMW and MMX and MQA MQB and MQE Hey zamim, thank you very much for the update! Much appreciated! I was planning to catch the older gen of A330, especially the J class. Oh well, life as it is. It seems like the B734 days are also numbered. 11 in operation currently down from 37 at its peak. Need to catch them soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 Can anyone tell me why they scrap newer delivered plane first? Could be that it has the higher number of cycles done. Pressurising and depressurising weakens the aircraft structure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 Looks like many 777-200ER will never have a 2nd life anymore. The newer A330HGWs kill off the B77A and B772ER. Could be that it has the higher number of cycles done. Pressurising and depressurising weakens the aircraft structure. Correct. At least I now know why the latest Going Places magazine listed the number of B772s in the fleet at 15. Going Places has listed 15 B777s since early January. Seems like their fate has been decided earlier on. So how many B772 will be left with MH? With A330HGWs taking over most of B777's role, I supposed all B777s will be retired. -MRK and -MRI had left so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
