TC-ONS Airbus A321-131 Onur Air MAN 02AUG99

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 22-Nov-20 (DeNoise AI 02-Aug-22)

Named: "Funda".

This was the prototype A321 (c/n 364), initially a -131 with IAE 2500 engines. First flown in Mar-93 with the Airbus test registration F-WWIA. it was converted to a -112 in Apr-94 fitted with CFM-56 engines.

At the end of the development programme in Jan-98 it was re-registered D-AVZD and converted back to a -131. After complete refurbishment, the aircraft was delivered to Onur Air as TC-ONS at the end of Jun-98.

It was wet-leased to Lotus Airlines (Egypt) between Oct-98/Mar-99 and again between Oct-99/May-00. In Jan-06 the aircraft was wet-leased to Qeshm Air (Iran), returning to Onur Air in Jun-06.

It was wet-leased to Saudia Saudi Arabian Airlines for a Haj Pilgrimage operation between Oct/Dec-09. The aircraft was withdrawn from service at stored at Istanbul-ISL in Mar-20 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It returned to service in late Jun-20 and was stored again at Istanbul-ISL in Oct-20.

Onur Air ceased operations in Dec-21 and were declared bankrupt in Apr-22. As far as I'm aware, the aircraft is still at Istanbul-ISL and is unlikely to fly again. Updated 02-Aug-22.
