A340-600

A340-600 of Cameroonian airline Skywings. The airline started long-haul flights in 2003 with a single Airbus A300, which it kept until 2014. Wanting a larger, more modern aircraft with a longer range, the company decided on the A340-600 model from the European manufacturer Airbus. After leaving the Airbus factory in 2006, it flew for a Pakistani company until 2012 before being stored for a few weeks and then leased to different companies for 2 years.
The aircraft joined the skywings fleet in November 2014. It made its first commercial flight under Cameroonian colours on 15 November 2014 on flight SKC 3421 to Johannesburg from Yaoundé-Nsimalen International Airport. The TJ-GIH is still in operation with the Cameroonian airline (April 2022), and flies today alongside two Airbus A330-200.
