Currently in disassembly

The disassembly process is almost completed. All vital components have been removed and are currently on their way to our warehouses all around the world.

The aircraft comes with some interesting items. MSN574 is equipped with a relatively new rudder and a sliding window. These were replaced in 2017 with the C-Check. The airframe also contains a cargo rail system floor, for moving containers to the front and the back of the hold.

The majority of the parts will ship to our Amsterdam warehouse, from where we shall serve the USM market.

Did you know?

  this aircraft HAS A NAME?

Like all Swiss aircraft, the A320 has a name. The aircraft is named after the Dübendorf municipality. Dübendorf is a municipality in the district of Uster in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. It is a suburb of Zürich in Switzerland with a population of about 30,000 (2021). It is the fourth largest city in the canton, after Zürich, Winterthur, and Uster.

  This aircraft ALSO USED TO FLY WITH TURKISH AIRLINES?

For a brief moment in history, the aircraft was leased out to Turkish Airlines for holiday flights. The aircraft was taken up in the summer of 2004 and flew with THY until 2007. Back then, the aircraft was named Mersin. A maritime city on the south coast of the country.
