Mandarin Airlines was formed as a subsidiary of China Airlines in 1991 to smooth over complaints from Mainland China. They objected to China Airlines carrying the Republic of China flag on their aircraft to countries which had diplomatic relations with the PRC. Delivered to China Airlines via Wilmington Trust September 30, 1981, this 747SP was transferred to Mandarin in June 1991. Withdrawn and stored in various places in March 1997, the aircraft ended up in Marana, AZ in 1999 and was eventually broken up for parts.
