Plane abandoned at Hanoi airport

Officials say the plane could belong to a Cambodian airline

Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing
727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport.

The plane was flown in from Siem Reap in neighbouring Cambodia in late
2007 and has been unclaimed ever since.

An airport official told the BBC that they believe the owners could be
an airline based in Cambodia.

The official said that if it remains unclaimed, the plane will have to
be sent for scrap.

The plane has a Cambodian flag on its fuselage and is emblazoned with
the name Air Dream, but the authorities say they have no information
about the airline.

Earlier, one security official at Noi Bai airport told the BBC’s
Vietnamese Service that the plane belongs to bankrupt budget Cambodian
airline Royal Khmer, but this is not certain.

Permission was originally given for the plane to remain at the airport
while essential maintenance was carried out but these repairs have not
been done.

Online newspaper VietnamNet reported that the owners could be unable
or unwilling to pay the required airport parking fees.


According to Wiki:

Air Dream is a charter airline based in Cambodia. As of 2007, it was
making flights between Siem Reap, Cambodia and Hanoi, Vietnam.[1] Its
single known aircraft, chartered from financially troubled Royal Khmer
Airlines, was flown to Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi, in "late"
2007 for maintenance and abandoned there, suggesting this charter
service is defunct.[2]

Maybe not mysterious at all.
