Photo Comment

slide scan from the NK collection. - From 1967 till 1987, Spantax operated a total of 14 Coronados, ten ex American Airlines aircraft and another four ex Swissair. Two were lost in accidents, the rest was retired at Palma in the eighties. One of those (EC-BZO) even survives in derelict condition, last reported in October 2022; the pictured EC-BXI, however, was scrapped in 1991.
