EI-JFK departs Shannon

Aer Lingus A330-301 EI-JFK departed Shannon as EIN 2500 for Chateauroux in France this morning. The aircraft performed it's last flight for Aer Lingus on the New York JFK - Shannon route on Wednesday last, August 12. EI-JFK, msn 86 has been with Aer Lingus since 1995 and is now being prepared for return to lessor after which it will be transferred to Vladivostok Avia.

It is expected that the aircraft will be painted in Chateauroux where the ATE hangar facilities can handle up to A340 size aircraft. No doubt JFK will reappear in Shannon in due course for final tweaks before handover.
