Omni Air's N342AX visits Shannon

Omni Air international have chosen the B767 as the successor to the Dc10 as it embarks on a re-equipping program to replace it's aging Dc10s. The first B767 to join the fleet is N342AX which made it's first trans Atlantic trip with an OAE flight number last weekend. The airline has also taken the opportunity to introduce a new livery featuring a gold and silver tail logo.

The aircraft is no stranger to Ireland. Originally built for Air France as F-GHGJ in 1993 the aircraft was returned to ILFC as N361LF in 2002. It arrived in Dublin for treatment with SR Technics as N361LF and was subsequently delivered to Air Holland as PH-AHR using trip number HRN 960 on August 20, 2002. Zoom Airlines operated the aircraft as C-GZMM from 2004 until they went out of business last year at which point it became N225LF. N342AX was delivered to Omni Air and ferried Miami - Atlanta on August 10.

Pictured above N342AX (msn 27136) is seen on finals to Shannon's R24 last Saturday evening after the 8 hrs 45 minute flight from Las Vegas McCarron.
