Airbus A340 prototype made its first flight 25th Oct 1991 and was withdrawn from use LFBT (Tarbes) 6th Aug 2019

Leased from South African Airways (ZS-SXF) from Jun 2005 until Jul 2007.

Another puzzle right at the outer fence of the storage area. A blanc A340 with a german flag in the tail. Lufthansa never had the -500 series. It was not until I got home and enlarged some of the detail shots I made. On the nosewheel door I discovered a placard with 464. Now A340-500 cn 464 was delivered to Air Canada in June 2004 as C-GKOM and was leased to TAM as PT-MSL in 2007. It never returned to Air Canada, but went in storage. First in Rio, later at Marana and Schwerin-Parchim. Here it got the German Registration D-AAAL. In 2018 the A340 moved to Teruel. The reg was not seen from here.

Lots of Lufthansa widebody jets parked at Teruel. This A340-600 is fully wrapped up, but still looks very complete. The two letters in the top of the tail in the old c/s help a lot when trying to identify all the jets in the storage area.

New delivered to the airline in April 1999. Left the fleet 29 Oct 2020 and stored Mauritius. Ferried to Enschede on 10 July 2021 for storage and possibly scrap.

This former Brunei government aircraft has been in storage at Tarbes-Lourdes since 5 July 2018.
