.SLM replaces Palulu with a younger Airbus 340-300
07 Jul, 02:45
Surinam Airways (SLM) is a newer version of the Airbus 340-300 lease. A lease is signed with Airbus under European regulations. The contract for the Palulu expires in October. Some time will consider what the best option is to replace the current device, which is 21 years old.
Star News learns that a 16.5-year-old Airbus 340-300 will be leased. The SLM can not yet opt for a twin-engine plane to fly over the ocean. For that a special certificate is required. Therefore there is no more time. The new machine must be in by October, otherwise the SLM will again have to hire aircraft.
Palulu makes since December 2009 part of the SLM fleet. The aircraft, MSN 242, is a younger version of the Palulu. This unit is from the end of 1998. It first flew to China Southwest Airlines under registration B-2388. In September 2003 the unit belonged to the fleet of Air China. The device is since April this year recorded in France.
