A DISPUTE over a historic plane left parked at the Cairns Airport for several years is set to land in court.
The airport has lodged documents in the Cairns Supreme Court calling for the Sydney-based company,
which owns the white Short Belfast cargo plane,
to be wound up and for it to pay more than $100,000 in outstanding rental fees.
The application filed last week shows the airport’s solicitor wrote to the owner, Flying Tiger Oversize Cargo, in early August and issued a statutory demand warning they had 21 days to pay the debt.
The Cairns Post revealed in July the plane, nicknamed “Hector” by airport workers, has been the subject of an ongoing dispute between the airport,
Flying Tiger and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and has been parked at the airport about four years.
It is “unregistered, uncertified and unairworthy”, according to CASA spokesman Peter Gibson, who said a notice had been issued to prevent it from flying until it passes testing.
The application is due to be heard in the Cairns Supreme Court on October 21.
