Operators of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) were forced to place an advertisement in a Malaysian newspaper calling on the owner of three 747-200F aircraft, including two passenger aircraft and one cargo plane, to come forward.
So, once again, if you own these massive birds of 1976 vintage, do contact Malaysia Airports general manager Zainol Mohd Isa at 0387766100.
The mysterious owner owes the airport landing, parking and other charges.
“We have been in communication with the so-called owner, but they have not been responding to take away the aircraft”. If they do not receive financial compensation by December 21, the planes will be sold or auctioned off to cover the outstanding costs.
The notice gave the registration numbers as TF-ARM, TF-ARN, and TF-ARH.
The airport is also known for being the origin of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared with 239 passengers and crew aboard on March 8, 2014.
“The aircraft are more than 20 years old and are uneconomical to use compared to the new generation planes”.
Malaysia earlier this year confirmed that a wing part found on the French island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean was from the aircraft.
Isa said that storage space wasn’t a problem at the airport, adding that the three Boeings are the only aircraft now abandoned there.
