Air France’s first Airbus A330-200s have been quietly withdrawn from its fleet since late August, according to a report in Journal de l’Aviation.
Four aircraft joined the Tarmac Aerosave facility at Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées airport between August 26 and September 30. They are MSN 500, 448, 519 and 481 (F-GZCH, F-GZCC, F-GZCL and F-GZCF respectively), delivered in 2001 and 2002. It should be noted that one of the aircraft was flown from N’Djamena, Chad, following an incident in late May with a container cargo vehicle during a storm. A fifth aircraft (MSN 465, F-GZCE) has been stationed in Toulouse for several days.

Currently, some nine Air France A330s continue to serve routes such as Abuja (Nigeria), Bangalore (India), Douala (Cameroon), Libreville (Gabon), Lomé (Togo), Luanda (Angola), Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), N’Djamena, Pointe-Noire (Congo), Saint-Maarten and Yaoundé (Cameroon).
The airline’s A330s will be gradually replaced by new Airbus A350-900s.
