One of the unforgettable spectacular short low landings of Air France A340 at Princess Juliana Airport - before the extension of the runway was done.

Delivered Air France in February '98. In April 2012 over to Air Madagaskar. In March 2013 TF-EAB (opb Air Atlanta Icelandic) and current at date of upload.

Air Madagascar - till 2012 a staunch Boeing customer as far as jetliners are concerned - wrote history when it started to operate this ex Air France A340 in April 2012, followed by sistership 5R-EAA (ex F-GLZT) two month later. The two planes were said to have been overpriced and linked with some safety and EASA certification issues, Air Madagascar continues to struggle financially up to this day. As a counter measure, this airframe has been registered in Island as TF-EAB (from March 2013) and Air Atlanta did operate it on behalf of Air Madagascar. Parked at the time of upload.
