Please Claim Your Three Boeing 747s at KLIA

Three Boeing 747-200F waiting to be claimed at KLIA. :yuush:

 

 

Yahoo : To whom it may concern: please claim your Boeing 747s

 

Still puzzled by the mystery of missing flight MH370, Malaysian airport authorities now have the opposite problem: three Boeing 747 planes left unclaimed at the country's main airport.

 

The operators of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) have placed a bizarre advertisement in a Malaysian newspaper seeking the owners of three 747-200F aircraft apparently abandoned there.

 

"If you fail to collect the aircraft within 14 days of the date of this notice, we reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the aircraft" under Malaysian regulations, said the ad which ran in Monday's edition of The Star.

 

The notice was addressed to the "untraceable owner" of the planes.

 

Zainol Mohd Isa, general manager of Malaysia Airports (Sepang), which operates the facility, said the airport had been trying to contact the planes' last known owners.

 

He said they were "international" and not Malaysian, but declined to give further details.

 

"I don’t know why they are not responding. There could be many reasons. Sometimes it could be because they have no money to continue operations," Zainol said.

 

In addition to wanting the planes to be claimed, he said the airport is seeking payment from the owners for landing, parking and other charges.

 

If no payment is received by December 21, the planes will be auctioned or sold for scrap to recoup the outstanding charges.

 

The notice gave the planes' registration numbers as TF-ARM, TF-ARN, and TF-ARH. Zainol said two are passenger aircraft and one is a cargo plane.

 

It is not the first time this has happened at the airport, Zainol added.

 

In the past decade a few other planes, mostly smaller aircraft, were abandoned.

 

He said an aircraft that was abandoned in the 1990s was eventually bought and turned into a restaurant in a Kuala Lumpur suburb.

 

KLIA was the origin of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared after taking off on March 8, 2014 with 239 passengers and crew aboard in what remains one of aviation's greatest mysteries.

 

Malaysia earlier this year confirmed that a wing part found on the French island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean was from the plane.

 

But no further wreckage has been found despite an intensive Australian-led oceanic search.

Thought it says they tried to contact the owner but no response.

 

Agreed but something fishy isn't it.

 

One plane is worth 20 ~ 30 million dollars (second hand planes) ...... :slow:

It's not unusual for old airplanes to be parked at airports and then forgotten about. There are also airlines who operate charters and don't fly regularly. They fly only when required; at other times they are simply parked at their last destinations.

 

Jakarta and Surabaya airports have many airplanes parked there which are not regularly flown. Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi airports too. Likewise European, Middle East and especially African airports. Even Singapore Changi have airplane parked which used to belong to a now defunct company.

But a MAS media relations officer said the airline does not own any of the three Boeing 747-200F aircraft. "If it was ours, we would have claimed it," said the officer. 

Air Atlanta Icelandic meanwhile told The Star it has "nothing to do" with the three aircraft.

The company's senior vice president of sales and marketing, Baldvin M. Hermannsson, said in an email that the three aircraft did belong to Air Atlantia, but was returned to their owner in 2010.

"Air Atlanta Icelandic does not have any knowledge of who the current owner of these aircraft is today, and has nothing to do with these aircraft today," said Hermannsson. He did not say who the owner of the aircraft was.

He added that the three aircraft had been de-registered from the Registry of the Icelandic Civil Aviation Authority. "No-one seems to have painted over the registration marks since then," said Hermannsson.

Malaysia Airports' Zainol said KLIA is seeking payment from the planes' owner for landing, parking and other charges.

How much is a used plane (such as these 3) worth anyway?

 

Maybe not worth it for them to pay off the parking charges, refuelled and scrapped.

 Ya big planes are a problem if owner do not have $ to maintain or pay for the parking ( I am not the elite so I not too sure the parking procedure and fees  ) 

 

 Imagine cannot sell off the plane for whatever reasons and yet still need to pay for the parking, no $ to pay better abandon it somewhere. haha. Or the owner of the plane passes away then the plane will be parked at the last location forever until someone go dig out, how come the plane stay here for very long.

 

Maybe someone elite here can share something about private jet parking that we do not know about.
