Virgin Australia almost went under during the corona crisis, but made a new start under a new investor. However, the fleet of Airbus A330s and Boeing 777s was divested. The aircraft was flown to Twente, has the registration VH-VPD and was in storage at various Australian airports for a long time.
On March 30, the Triple Seven departed from Darwin via Muscat to the Netherlands. Due to bad weather, it was not possible to land immediately at Twente, but the aircraft diverted to Maastricht Aachen Airport. A short flight to Twente followed on Sunday morning.
AELS, which dismantles aircraft at Twente Airport, has received large aircraft more often. For example, several Airbus A340s and Boeing 747s were taken apart. Reusable parts are resold.
The picture shows the VH-VPD in happy times, on approach to Los Angeles Airport (LAX).
